The ABC Toy Company is creating two similar pieces for board game, as shown below. Find the value of y that makes the two pieces
1 answer:
A shape that is similar to another shape will be enlarged by a scale factor.
Each corresponding sides should give the same scale factor
Side GI corresponds to side JL
Side GH corresponds to side JK
Side HI corresponds to side KL
The correspond sides whose length are given is
GH = 4 and JK = 8
Side JK is twice longer than GH
All the other sides of triangle JKL are twice longer than triangle GHI, so we want that the side JL to be twice of the sides GI
Side GI = 6
Side JL = 6 × 2 = 12
Answer: y = 12

Answer:
x=5±√−103/8
Step-by-step explanation:
There's no real solutions
4x2−3x+9−(2x+1)=2x+1−(2x+1)
4x2−5x+8=0
x=−b±√b2−4ac/2a
x=−(−5)±√(−5)2−4(4)(8)/2(4)
x=5±√−103/8
The answer is:
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles.
