This is the concept of scale factors; The length of the larger figure will be calculated as follows;
linear scale factor=[length of larger figure]/[length of smaller figure]
plugging the values in the above formula we get:
let the length of the larger figure be x;
thus;
x/12=4/3
multiplying both sides by 12 to solve for x we get:
12*x/12=4/3x12
x=16
thus the length of the larger figure is x=16

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ. fine side a
aleksley [76]
<h3>Answer:  a = 15</h3>

Explanation:

The jump from 13 to 39 is "times 3" when comparing the diagonal segments. So the jump from 5 to 'a' must also be "times 3" to keep the sides in the same proportion. Therefore, a = 3*5 = 15.

Or we could solve it like so

13/39 = 5/a

13a = 39*5 ... cross multiplying

13a = 195

a = 195/13 .... dividing both sides by 13

a = 15

What does | 3+i | equal
prohojiy [21]
The straight lines are asking to find the modulus or the size of the complex number.
For a complex number  z = x + iy,  [z] = √(x^2 +y^2)
Where x = Real Number, y = Imaginary number.
For 3 +i,  x = 3, y = 1    (Note y is what number that is attached to i)

[3 + i] = √(3^2 +1^2) = √10 = 3.162

How to classify a system and give the number of solutions
Leokris [45]
1) consistent system. at least one solution.

2) inconsistent system. no solutions (the lines are parallel)

3) dependent system. equations have same slope and y-intercept(same line)independent system.

4) equations have different slopes(2 intersecting lines)
