15/6=2.5 which is the scale factor since they are similar triangles. We divide each side of the large triangle by 2.5 to get the sides for the small triangle since they are similar. 20/2.5=8cm
25/2.5=10cm
For the second problem, you put 15/6 and set in equal to x/8 when you cross multiply you get 6x=120 then you divide x=20
For the last problem, you divide 43,75 by 5 then multiply it by 400 to get the kiloliters which equals 3,500.
Answer:
1) Change the length of side AB to 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that both structures are similar, it follows that the ratio of their corresponding lengths are equal.
To find out what should be the correct length of AB that she should change to, set up the proportion showing the ratio of 2 corresponding lengths of both structures. Thus:

We will assume AB is unknown.
PR = 7.5 ft
AC = 2.5 ft
PQ = 6 ft
Plug in the values into the equation

Cross multiply


Divide both sides by 7.5

The architect should change the length of AB to 2 ft
Subtract 8p from 9p and then rewrite the equation. Then you add 7 to 4 and rewrite the equation again. Then you divide 1p by 11 and get p=11.
The answer is the product of 7 and the difference of b and - 2
