The number of revolutions of two pulleys is inversely proportional to their diameters. if a 24-inch diameter pulley making 400 revolutions per minute is belted to an 8-inch diameter pulley, find the number of revolutions per minute of the smaller pulley.

1. are the triangles similar and if so why? what is the value of x? show your work.

Which of the following represents a number squared is equal to twenty more than nine times that number ? a) x squared = 9x + 20 b) x squared = 20x + 9 c) x squared > 9 + 20x d) x squared = 9 + x + 20
