    1 . A.

    ) PS/SQ = PT/TR
    5/(3x+1) = 6/(4x)
    Cross-multiplying and simplifying, we get:
    20x = 18x + 6
    2x = 6
    x=3
    B.) PS/SQ = PT/TR
    (3x+4)/12 = (4x+3)/15
    Cross-multiplying and simplifying, we get:
    45x + 60 = 48x + 36
    3x = 24
    x=8
    2. (3x + 17) + (5x - 3) = 8x + 14
    3x + 17 = 5x - 3 – d
    d = 8x – 20
    8x + 14
    = (8x + 14) - (3x + 17)
    = 5x – 3
    3.) 4/y = x/5
    x = (4/5) y
    AB^2 = AC^2 - BC^2
    AB^2 = 6.5^2 - (x+y)^2/4
    6.5^2 = AC^2 - [(x+y)/2]^2
    6.5^2 = 13^2 - [(x+y)/2]^2
    (x+y)^2/4 = 169 - 42.25
    (x+y)^2/4 = 126.75
    x+y = 2*sqrt(126.75)
    x+y = 22.5
    DE/AD = CE/AC
    z/4 = y/6.5
    z = (4/6.5) y
    (4/5) y + y = 22.5
    y = 12 cm
    x = (4/5) y = 9.6 cm
    z = (4/6.5) y = 7.38 cm

    3rd Quarter Performance Task

    I. Answer the following. Show your complete solution.

    1. For a ∆ PQR , find the value of x where S and T are points on sides PQ and PR
    respectively and ST is parallel to QR.
    A. PS=5 cm, SQ=(3x+1) cm, PT=6 cm, and TR=(4x) cm x = 3
    B. PS=(3x+4) cm, SQ= 12 cm, PT = (4x+3) cm, and TR= 15 cm x = 8

    2. The distance from Sam’s house to school is (3x+17)m and from school to
    library is (5x-3)m. Find the distance from house to library and school to
    house, if the school is in the middle of the house and the library.
    House to Library = 8x+14 School to House = 5x-3
    3. Find the value of x, y, and z in the figure. x = 9.6cm y = 12 cm z = 7.38cm

    4. Identify the similar triangles in each figure. Explain why they are similar and
    use the given information to find x and y.

    A.

    B.
    3

    5. The area of a rectangle is 108 cm2. The ratio of the width to the length is 3:4. Find the
    length and the width. Width = 9 and Length = 12

    Width = 3x
    Length = 4x
    A = l*w
    108 = (4x)*(3x)
    12x^2 = 108
    x^2 = 9
    √9 = 3
    width of the rectangle is 3x = 33 = 9 cm, and the length is 4x = 43 = 12 cm.

    4.)A.) similar triangles in the figure are ABC and AED because the
    triangles have similar corresponding sides and congruent angles.
    x = 15/3 = 5 y = 10/3
    B.) The triangles in this figure are not similar triangles
