Using the fact that the triangles shown are similar, we can set up a proportion between the lengths of the sides. 

The side length in question is QR, or "x". To find its corresponding side in the larger triangle let's look at the similarity.

MNO is similar to PQR
Vertices are always written in order of correspondence when stating similarities. Since QR are the last two letters of the triangle's name, and NO are the last two letters of the larger triangle's name, we know that QR and NO are corresponding sides. We can apply this same method to any other side.

NO/QR = MN/PQ
(MN and PQ are also corresponding sides)
Now we can substitute the side names with their values.
4.5/x = 5/2
Cross multiply
5x = 9
Divide both sides by 5
x = 9/5 or 1.8 or 1 4/5

Hope this helps!

Hello!

ΔMNO ≈ ΔPQR

MN ≈ PQ

MN = 5
PQ = 2

NO = QR

4 1/2 = 9/2

\frac{2}{5} \times  \frac{9}{2} =  \frac{18}{10} = 1  \frac{8}{10} = 1  \frac{4}{5}

Answer ⇒ 3rd choice

What is the situation for these two equations ×=10+2 and 10x=2
Tom [10]

Answer:

1 is x=12

2 is x= 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

For equation number 1 you just add 10 and 2, which is 12.

For equation number 2 you divide 2 by 10 and simplify it to 1/5. So x = 1/5

Plot the following points to create a rectangle.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

(5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The three coordinates of a triangle are given as:

(5,3), (-5,3), (-5,-1).

To find:

The missing vertex = ?

Solution:

Let us label the vertices:

A (5,3),

B(-5,3),

C(-5,-1).

Let the missing vertex be (x, y).

Let us recall the properties of a rectangle.

The <em>opposite sides</em> of the rectangle are equal and parallel to each other.

Let us consider the side AB, we can see that only x coordinate is changed from A to B.

Let us consider the side BC, we can see that only y coordinate is changed from B to C.

A and B are adjacent vertices.

Similarly the opposite vertices will be C and D.

Same pattern will be followed in CD as that of AB.

x coordinate will be changed by same difference as that of AB.

Change in x coordinate from D to C = -5-x

Change in x coordinate from A to B = -5-5 =-10

Equating them:

-5-x=-10\\\Rightarrow x = 5

Same pattern is followed in BC and AD.

Their change in y coordinate will be same.

-1-3=y-3\\\Rightarrow y =-1

Missing vertex is <em>(5, -1)</em>.

Please refer to the attached image for the rectangle.

What shapes can you obtain by taking a cross section of a cone?
SashulF [63]
You can get a circle by cutting horizontally and a hyperbola by cutting vertically. You can also get an ellipse and a parabola by cutting at an angle depending on whether the cut comes out the other side or not.

Ema ate 6 slices of pizza. She ate 3/4 of a entire pizza. How many slices of pizza were there in all?
Taya2010 [7]
Divide 6 by \frac{3}{4}

\frac{6}{1} ÷ \frac{3}{4}

Change \frac{3}{4} to a reciprocal

\frac{6}{1} × \frac{4}{3} = \frac{24}{3} 

Simplify and your answer is 8
