Answer:
a) 16.25 centimeters
b) 6.8 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.
a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:
6.5/x
x represents the length you're trying to find.
Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:
7.2/18=6.5/x
Cross multiply
16.25
XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.
b)
We can do same thing:
7.2/18=x/17
Cross multiply
6.8
QR is 6.8 centimeters long.
Hope this helps!
Let f(x) = y.
y = 4x - 12
Let x = 0
y = 4(0) - 12
y = - 12
This leads to the point (0, -12).
Let y = 0.
0 = 4x - 12
1 2 = 4x
12/4 = x
3 = x
This leads to the point (3, 0).
We now graph both points and then connect each point with a straight line.
