Answer:
x=26
y=11
Step-by-step explanation:
y is equal to the one on the opposite side, so y=11
since 24 and the other side are equal, and the other side is x-2, you do 24+2=26
Answer:
missing side length is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
similar means that all correlating pairs of sides have the same ratio (old side length) / (new side length).
so, when we know the ratio of one pair, we can apply it to any other side to calculate the correlating side.
we see, when we go from small to large, that we have the ratio 32/40 = 4/5.
so, multiplying the larger side by this, we get the shorter side.
15 × 4/5 = 3 × 4 = 12
the proportion part in your picture is a bit confusing :
yes,
x/15 = 32/40 = 32/40
I don't know, why this last expression was repeated.
x/15 = 32/40
x = 15×32/40 = 15×4/5 = 3×4 = 12
as you see we get of course the same result doing it that way.
True a goal is something that should be simple and easy
6 bags × 24 balloons = the amount of round balloons
6× 24 = 144
3 bags × 36 balloons = the amount of long balloons
3 ×36=108
108 long balloons - 144 round balloons = number of more long balloons that round ones
108-144=-36
He has -36 more long balloons that round ones
Or 36 more round balloons that long ones
The answer is 31.832142857.
