Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar triangles, their sides are proportional
12 : 15 :: 8 : x - 4
Product of extremes = Product of means
12 × ( x- 4 ) = 15 × 8
12x -48 = 120
12x = 120 + 48
12x = 168
x = 168/12
x = 14
Answer:
The area is 72 cm².
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is equivalent triangle
h = b
so,
b + b + b (since all sides are equal)= 36 cm
3b = 36 cm
or, b = 36/3
so, b = 12 cm
so
area of triangle = (1/2)×b×h
= (1/2)×12cm×12cm
= 6cm × 12cm
= 72 cm²
A dilation is the best answer. A dilation shrinks or expands the shape on a plane. But now, that shape is the same shape, but a different size.
Congratulations! You have discovered simillar figures. They are the same shape, but different sizes, so they are not congruent.
Hope this helps
The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".
600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²
The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length
y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>
