You can use the sponge 22 times to create the design
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the parallelogram-shaped sponge = base × height = 3 inches × 1 inch = 3 square inches
Area of design = 66 square inches
Number of times to use the sponge to create the design = Area of design ÷ Area of parallelogram-shaped sponge = 66 square inches ÷ 3 square inches = 22
The sponge can be used 22 times to create the design
We know that this triangle is similar because it will have all of the same angles as the first triangle. This is because two parallel lines cut by a transversal will create the same angles. In addition, they share the final angle because we are not changing that angle. Therefore, all 3 are the same, which makes them similar triangles.
