Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that the trapezoid EFGH and the trapezoid ABCD are similar, this means that any dimension must be scaled by the same scale factor.

so:

AB = a*HG

DC = a*EF

H1 = a*H2

where a is the scale factor.

so we have that:

15cm = a*GH

9cm = a*EF

3cm = a*H2

now, let's analyze the options:

A) if EF = 27cm, we have:

9cm = a*27cm

a = 9/27 = 1/3

GH = 45cm

15cm = a*45cm

a = 15/45 = 1/3

and H2 = 3cm

3cm = a*3cm

a = 1

The scale factor is not the same in the 3 equations, so this option is not correct.

B) here we have that GH = 15cm = AB, so from this we will have a = 1, but the heights are different, so this can not be the correct option.

C) EF = 18cm

9cm = a*18cm

a = 1/2

GH = 30cm

15cm = a*30cm

a = 1/2

H2 = 6cm

3cm = a*6cm

a = 1/2

in this case we have that a is the same for the 3 equation, so the scale factor is constant and we have that bot trapezoids are similar.

Option D also has different scale factors, where for the lines EF and GH the scale factor is a = 1/4, and for the height the scale factor is 1/3.

The only correct option is C.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 10 > -15 is your original equation.

You need to isolate the x variable.

Start by subtracting 10.

-5x > -25

x > 5

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

x² - 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying binomials (two terms in an expression), use FOIL. It stands for the first, outside, inside, and last terms in each bracket.

(x−3)(x−1)           Expand with FOIL

= x² - x - 3x + 3      Collect like terms

= x² - 4x + 3

What is the equation of this line? Picture included
enot [183]
A straight line needs two pieces of information to be identified, a gradient and a y-intercept (technically any point will do but the y-intercept is particularly convenient if we have it).

The gradient is calculated by taking two points on the line, and dividing the change in y-coordinate by the change in x-coordinate between them. I'm going to take the points (0,-3) and (2,-2).

The change in y-coordinate is (-2) - (-3) = 1

The change in x-coordinate is (2) - (0) = 2.

Gradient = m = 1/2

Next we identify the y-intercept, the value of y when x = 0. This value is -3, and we call it c.

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + c. Slotting in the values for m and c we have ascertained, we find that the equation of this line is:

y = (1/2)x - 3

I hope this helps :)

Answer:

3/4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Lightest: 3 3/4

Heaviest: 4 1/2 = 4 2/4

4 2/4 - 3 3/4 = 18/4 - 15/4 = 3/4
