Hi there!

The two trapezoids are similar, so we can determine a common scale factor:
OL/UR = NM/TS
9/3 = 6/2
3 = 3
Trapezoid ONML is 3x larger than UTSR, so:
RS = 4, LM = y
3RS = LM
3 · 4 = y = 12.
Find x using the same method:
3UT = ON
3(2x+1) = 4x + 9
6x + 3 = 4x + 9
2x = 6
x = 3.
1.5 cookies and 0.5 brownies are needed for 1 plate. In 10 plates, you will need 15 cookies and 5 brownies.
2 times as much.
(In the cereal aisle at Costco they always have 2 boxes a pack)
As they are not divisible to each other, we can't reduce that and in that condition their LCM would be their product = 9* 17 = 153
SO YOUR ANSWER IS 153
Answer:
a) v=6
b) s= u^2 - v^2 : -2a
Step-by-step explanation:
v^2=u^2+2as
u=12, a=-6, s=9
a)
(12)^2= 12 * 12= 144
v^2=u^2+2as
v^2=(12)^2+ 2*(-6)*9
v^2=144+(-12)*9
v^2=144+(-108)
v^2=36
v=6
b)
v^2=u^2+2as
-2as=u^2 - v^2
s= u^2 - v^2 : -2a
check for s
s= 144 - 36 : -2(-6)
s= 108 : 12
s=9 (equal vs the given)
