Since the kites are similar, their sides correspond.  You can set up proportions like this:

\frac{40}{48} = \frac{20}{x}

This states that 40 (small kite) is to 48 (big kite) as 20 (small kite) is to x (big kite).  After that, use cross-multiplication to solve for x:

40x = 48*20 \\ 40x=960 \\ x=24

x must be 24 units long.

So, since the polygons are similar, they will share a scale factor. 

The dilation is a reduction.

SF= preimage/image

SF=48/40

SF= 1.2

To find the value of x, multiply 20 by 1.2, so:

20(1.2)=24

Thus, x = 24

Now, to check if the sides are proportional (this will determine if the polygons are, in fact, similar.)

24/20=1.2
48/40=1.2

BTW, the missing side measure for the image is 40 since 48 is its corresponding side, and 48/1.2 (SF) is 40.

Hence, we have 48/40= 1.2

1) Find the missing side.
kari74 [83]

Answer:

25inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so there is something called a Pythagorean theorem.

It's a²+b²=c²

It works on right triangles

C is the longest side or the side not touching the right angle

and a and b is the other 2 sides

so the missing side is 24²+7²=Missing side or c²

24²=576 and 7²= 49  

576+49=625

\sqrt{625}=25

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x + y = -1 and passes through the point (-3,5)? Write your
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange equation to get y by itself.

3x + y = -1

y = -3x - 1

Perpendicular = opposite reciprocal. This means that the slope = 1/3

Convert to point-slope form: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 5 = 1/3 (x - (-3))

y - 5 = 1/3 (x + 3)

y - 5 = 1/3x + 1

y = 1/3x + 6
