PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS, SO CONFUSED (image attached) explain it please !!!
1 answer:
Because the figures are similar, they have same proportion for the sides.
Compare the sides
hypotenuse/base = hypotenuse/base
(x - 9) / 4 = (x + 1) / 9
Do cross multiplication, then simplify
9(x - 9) = 4(x + 1)
9x - 81 = 4x + 4
9x - 4x = 4 + 81
5x = 85
x = 85/5
x = 17

Answer: 1.08T and (1+8/100)T
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The average temperature two Sundays ago was T degrees Celsius.
Since, last Sunday, the average temperature was 8% higher than the average temperature two Sundays ago.
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
Since 8%=0.08
Therefore, The average temperature last Sunday
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
Thus, the right option is 1.08T and (1+8/100)T.
