Find the length of y. assume the triangles are similar

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

If the triangles are similar, the ratio between all of the sides is the same.

We see that to get the 4.2 in the big triangle to the 2.4 in the smaller triangle, we must divide by 1.75 (we get this from 4.2/2.4=1.75). So, if the ratio between all the sides is the same in both triangles, we can divide 6.3 by 1.75 to get y.

6.3/1.75=3.6

Therefore, the length of y is B. 3.6.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

3.6 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

2.4             y

----------- = ------------

4.2              6.3

Using cross products

2.4 * 6.3 = 4.2 y

15.12=4.2y

Divide by 4.2

15.12/4.2 = 4.2y/4.2

3.6 = y

The top 1/8 of the runners advance to the finals for the track and field competition. What is the decimal value of the number? S
egoroff_w [7]
To find the decimal form, you have to manually divide 1 by 8. Since 8 is greater than 1, the quotient would then start with 0., then you add a 0 next to 1, to make it 10. This time, divide 10 by 8. The nearest answer would be 1, because 1 *8 = 8. Subtracting this from 10, you get 2. Add another 0 to 2, to make it 20. Do the cycle all over again. The complete solution is as follows:
          0.125
       ---------------------------
   8 |   10
         - 8
        ------------------------
           20
         -16
          -------------
            40
          - 40
       -------------
            0

<em>Hence, the decimal form of 1/8 is 0.125.</em>

I am Lyosha [343]

3. yes because 15 divided by 5 and 27 divided by 9 both result in the same answer; 3.

4. No because 3/4 is not a whole number, while 4/3 is. For this to be an equivalent ratio, the second number would have to be something like 6/8.
