XD THIS BE ON A QUI Mrs. Serneels ordered 27 boxes of pencils for the 4 grade 5 classes. Each box contains 12 pencils. How many pencils should each class get if they share them equally? (please answer asap )

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

sweetheart, there isn't a cube below.
