a diagonal crosswalk at an intersection of first street and grand avenue is the hypotenuse of a triangle in which crosswalks across each street are the legs. First street is 29 feet wide and Grand Avenue is 41 feet wide. How much shorter is the distance traveled by pedestrians using the diagonal crosswalk rather than using both crosswalks that form the legs of the triangle?

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

the answer is 54 sq. ft. i just did this question, on odyssey ware, and it was right. make brainliest.

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.
