Find the length of y. assume the triangles are similar

Mathematics

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

Answer:

x = (64 + 5) ÷ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

                                        3x - 5 = 64

Add 5 to both sides:            3x = 64 + 5 = 69

Divide both sides by 3:          x = 69 ÷ 3 = 23

So the answer is x = (64 + 5) ÷ 3

Note:  If we didn't add the parentheses then using the order of operation x = 64 + 5 ÷ 3 would be x = 64 + \frac{5}{3} = 65 \frac{2}{3}

Is 5/6 greater than 1/2
Alinara [238K]
Yes it is. We know this cause 1 is smaller than 5 and 6 is bigger than 2. 

Hope This Helps!

Which expression can be substituted for y in the top equation of the
maria [59]

Answer:

Y=7+3x, x=-3, y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5y=1. Equation 1

3x-y=-7. Equation 2

-y=-7-3x isolate for y in equation 2

y=7+3x multiplied by -1 to get positive y

3x-5(7+3x)=1 substitute y value of equation 2 (7+3x) into equation 1

3x-35-15x=1

-12x=36

x=-3

solve for y.

3x-5y=1

3(-3)-5y=1

-9-5y=1

-5y=10

y=-2
