The shapes are similar.
When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal.
Therefore,
Simplify:
Cross multiply:
42(10+x) = 57x
420 + 42x = 57x
420 = 57x - 42x
420 = 15x
x = (420÷15)
x = 28
The correct answer is 2 1/6.
Good Luck...:)
Answer:B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Top row 2nd one
Step-by-step explanation:
Distrube out .5 first and the equation will be .5x+2
Then add 3 to both sides and you get y=.5x+5
Given:
The wheel chair ramp is parallel to the ramp.
To find:
The value of x and y.
Solution:
If two lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
4x° + 6y° = 86° --------- (1)
Similarly,
5x° + 6y° = 94°
Subtract 5x° from both sides.
5x° + 6y° - 5x° = 94° - 5x°
6y° = 94° - 5x° --------- (2)
Substitute (2) in (1).
4x° + 94° - 5x° = 86°
94° - x° = 86°
Subract 94° on both sides.
94° - x° - 94° = 86° - 94°
- x° = 86° - 94°
- x° = -8°
Multiply by -1 on both sides, we get
x = 8
Substitute x = 8 in (2).
6y° = 94° - 5(8)°
6y° = 54°
Divide by 6 on both sides, we get
y = 6
The value of x is 8 and y is 6.
