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}

Hello!
Tcecarenko [31]

This is simple algebra :)

First, we can write the question as an algebraic equation.

Given that Doug spent 40 more hours than Laura, we can represent Laura as (x) and Doug as (x+40).

"Doug and Laura spent a combined 250 hours." So we can write this as

(x) + (x+40) = 250

Now simplify:

2x + 40 = 250

Solve x by subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation:

2x = 210

Therefore:

x = 210/2

= 105

So Laura (x) spent 105 hours!

Which equation represents a line that is parallel to 2x-3y=9
Sever21 [200]
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but a different y intercept. A line with the same slope and y int as another one will be the exact same
Slope in standard form is -a/b, so your slope is 2/3 and your y int is -3
For example:
y=2/3x+1
