Size is not preserved under dilation.
696/12 = 464/x
696x = 464 *12 ...cross multiply
696x = 5568
x = 5568/696
x=8

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we have is a general equation that says this in words:
Laura's hours + Doug's hours = 250 total hours
Since we don't know either person's number of hours, AND since we can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, we need to write Laura's hours in terms of Doug's, or Doug's hours in terms of Laura's. We are told that Doug spent Laura's hours plus another 40 in the lab, so let's call Laura's hours "x". That makes Doug's hours "x + 40". Now we can write our general equation in terms of x:
x + x + 40 = 250 and
2x = 210 so
x = 105
Since Laura is x, she worked 105 hours in the lab and Doug worked 40 hours beyond what Laura worked. Doug worked 145. As long as those 2 numbers add up to 250, we did the job correctly. 105 + 145 = 250? I believe it does!!
Answer:
d) 135º
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the angle DCU is the sum of the angles DCB and BCU. The angle DCB is 90º because A B C D is a square, then all its angles are equal to 90º.
After attaching B U C to A B C D, we obtain a trapezoid A U C D. Since A U C D has at least one pair of parallel sides, then AU should be parallel to CD, thus the angle CBU must be 90º.
B U C is isoceles, so we conclude that other two angles must have the same size, and due to the sum of the angles of a triangle being 180º, then both BUC and BCU are equal to 45º
As a result, the angle DCU is equal to 90º+45º = 135º. Option d is the correct one.
