Answer:

The ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC is \frac{9}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

In this problem

Triangles XBY and ABC are similar, because the corresponding internal angles are congruent

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z-------> the scale factor

z=\frac{BY}{BC}

we have

BY=3\ units

BC=2+3=5\ units

substitute

z=\frac{3}{5}

step 2

Find the ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

we have

z=\frac{3}{5} -----> scale factor

so

z^{2} =(\frac{3}{5})^{2} =\frac{9}{25}

Solve 2(4 x + 3) &lt; 5 x + 21. { x | x &lt; 9} { x | x &gt; -5} { x | x &gt; -9} { x | x &lt; 5}
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

x <5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4 x + 3) < 5 x + 21

Distribute

8x +6 < 5x +21

Subtract 5x from each side

8x -5x +6 < 5x-5x+21

3x +6 < 21

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 <21-6

3x <15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 <15/3

x <5

You can text 44 words in 1 minute. Write a proportion to help you find
Natalka [10]

Answer:

176 words

Step-by-step explanation:

1) well we want to find the amount of words we'd be able to type in 4 minutes. so, what i did was:

<u>44 words</u> = <u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

1 minutes = 4 minutes

2) now look at how i set up the proportion, notice how i left a variable of x for the value i didn't know.

3) we also know that 1 times 4 is 4, so it'd also make sense to also multiply the numerator by 4 too!!

4) multiplying 44 by 4 would get us our answer which is 176

im not the best at math but i this explanation helped <33
