I WILL BE MARKING BRAINLIEST AND GIVING 40 POINTS IF CORRECT!!! Jasmine drives every morning to her office that is 12 miles from her home.

Suppose Jasmine drives from home to the office in 20 minutes. Use this information and part (b) to write an equation. Part (b) said that it takes her (12÷s) hours to make it or (12÷s)·60 minutes. Thank you for your time.

you should plug in 20 for x

(12/20) × 60 = 36

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
