In the diagram of triangle FJH below, KG || JH, FK=3, KJ=15, and FG=4. What is the length of FH?
Answers
Given:
In triangle [tex]FJH,KG\parallel JH, FK=3, KJ=15,\text{ and }FG=4.[/tex]
To find:
The length of [tex]FH[/tex].
Solution:
Basic proportionality theorem(BPT): If a line intersect the two sides of a triangle and parallel to third side of the triangle, then it divides the sides proportionally.
In triangle [tex]FJH,KG\parallel JH[/tex].
Using BPT, we get
[tex]\dfrac{FK}{KJ}=\dfrac{FG}{GH}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{3}{15}=\dfrac{4}{GH}[/tex]
On cross multiplication, we get
[tex]3\times GH=4\times 15[/tex]
[tex]GH=\dfrac{60}{3}[/tex]
[tex]GH=20[/tex]
Now,
[tex]FH=FG+GH[/tex]
[tex]FH=4+20[/tex]
[tex]FH=24[/tex]
Therefore, the length of FH is 24 units.

Expand 1/2 to 2/4, if there is 1 1/2 cups of corn grits, that means that 1/4 cups of corn grits was used 6 times, 1/2x6=3. He will need 3 cups of water

(3x - 12x) + (3y - y) = 7
(-12x + 45x) + 6y = 1

A recipe for 12 cupcakes uses 2/3 cups of sugar. The number of cupcakes is directly proportional to the amount of sugar. How many cupcakes can you make with 3 cups of sugar?
help please!! i need an answer before may 7th
Answers
Answer:
54 cupcakes
Step-by-step explanation:
You would see how much sugar goes into each cupcake which is 1/18 cups of sugar in each cupcake, next you would see how many cupcakes you can make by turning the total 3 cups of sugar into an improper fraction of 54/18, then you would see how many times 1/18 can go into 54/18 which is 54 times meaning that with 3 cups of sugar you can make a total of 54 cupcakes.
