The polygons are said to be similar if and only if the ratio of the measures of their corresponding sides are equal. If we are to establish the equation by the definition given above that would be,

15/10 = 60/x

The value of x from the equation is 40. Hence, the side measures 40.

ANSWER: 40

The answer is the last choice.

John is going on a trip and the country he is traveling to uses the Celsius scale. He is curious about converting Celsius temper

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$f(x)=\dfrac{9}{5}x+32$ converts Celsius to Fahrenheit.

$g(x)=\dfrac{5(x-32)}{9}$ converts Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write given data in the table

$\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\^{\circ}\text{C}&^{\circ}\text{F}\\20&68\\30&86\end{array}$

Let the expression for the function be

$f(x)=ax+b$

Note, that this equation is linear equation and it is well-known fact that the Celsius to Fahrenheit dependence is linear.

Substitute corresponding values into this expression:

$68=20a+b\\ \\86=30a+b$

Subtract these two equations:

$86-68=30a-20a\\ \\10a=18\\ \\a=\dfrac{9}{5}$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$68=20\cdot \dfrac{9}{5}+b\Rightarrow b=68-36=32$

So,

$f(x)=\dfrac{9}{5}x+32$

This is the function which converts Celsius to Fahrenheit.

And function

$g(x)=\dfrac{5(x-32)}{9}$ converts Fahrenheit to Celsius.
