  (b)  √55

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangles in this geometry are all similar, so the ratio of long side to short side is the same:

  y/5 = 11/y

  y² = 55 . . . . . . multiply by 5y

  y = √55 . . . . . take the square root

__

And x=4√5 by looking at ratios of short side to hypotenuse.

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
