Answer:

  WS=8\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are also equal

In this problem

\frac{TU}{TR}=\frac{UW}{RS}=\frac{TW}{TS}

we have

TU=3\ units, RS=15\ units, TW=4\ units,TR=9\ units

Find the value of TS

\frac{TU}{TR}=\frac{TW}{TS}

substitute

\frac{3}{9}=\frac{4}{TS}

TS=36/3=12\ units

WS=TS-TW

WS=12-4=8\ units

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

An advertising banner has four sections as modeled below. Two sections are congruent trapezoids and two sections are congruent r
lara [203]

Complete question is;

An advertising banner has four sections, as modeled in the attached image. Two sections are congruent trapezoids, and two sections are congruent right triangles. Which measurement is the best estimate of the area of the banner in square meters?

Answer:

6 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are told that there are two congruent trapezoid, it means that they will have same base of 1m.

This Means the total base of the entire triangle will be;

Base = 1 + 1¾ + 1 + 1¾ = 5.5 m

Height of main triangle = 2 m

Thus,

Area = ½ × 5.5 × 2 = 5.5 m²

We are looking for best estimate, so let's approximate to the nearest whole number to get 6 m²

A. y = 8 − 7x<br> B. y = 7x + 8<br> C. y = 7x − 8<br> D. y = 8x − 7
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

I'm getting

y=-7x+8

The 7 is negative for me..You should maybe try yourself too and see what you get I might have made a mistake

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing you live somewhere in the U.S. so I'll use the equation you use there

Equation:

y = mx + b

m =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

first pick two points

I'll pick (0,8) and (1,1)

m =  \frac{8 - 1}{0 - 1} =  \frac{7}{ - 1 } =  - 7

this means that the slope is -7

So far the equation will look like this

y =  - 7x + b

to get b pick one point, I'll pick (0,8) and replace y and x

8 =  - 7 \times 0 + b

when you solve this you'll get b

b = 8

So the equation will look this

y =  - 7x + 8
