Answer:
CU = 117
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
substituting in values to the ratios
=
( cross- multiply )
24(36x - 1) = 3432 ( divide both sides by 24 )
36x - 1 = 143 ( add 1 to both sides )
36x = 144 ( divide both sides by 36 )
x = 4
CU = 36x - 1 - 26 = (36 × 4) - 27 = 144 - 27 = 117
1.5y < -6.75
First, divide both sides by '1.5'.
Second, since 4.5 × 1.5 = 6.5, simplify the fraction to '-4.5'
Answer: y < -4.5
First, divide both sides by '1.5'.
Second, since 4.5 × 1.5 = 6.5, simplify the fraction to '-4.5'
Answer: y < -4.5
