➷ As they are similar triangles, there will be a scale factor between them. You may be given one pair of values on the triangle. Divide the larger value by the smaller value in order to find the scale factor between the triangles. For example, if the larger triangle has a length of 6cm and the smaller triangle has a length of 3cm, the scale factor would be 2. You would then multiply the given side by the scale factor to get the length.

Step2247 [10]
The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length (L) and the width (W). In order for us to determine the possible dimensions of the section (or sides) of the rectangle, we have to factor the given area.
                                          x² - 4x - 45
                                       (x - 9)(x + 5)

<em>Thus, the possible dimensions of the rectangle are x-9 and x+5</em>.

Answer:

The point (0, 6.7) is the point where the ball was launched.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball was launched from a point 6.7 feet from ground level.

In this scenario (ball tossed toward the goal), the constant  c  at the end of the function formula gives you the initial position (height).

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.
KatRina [158]
AB = AU + UB = 20x + 108 + 273 = 20x + 381

\cfrac{AU}{AB} =\cfrac{UV}{BC}    \\  \\  \cfrac{20x+108}{20x+381} =\cfrac{444}{703}   \\  \\ 703(20x+108)=444(20x+381)\\\\14060x+75924=8880x+169164 \\  \\ 14060x-8880x = 169164 - 75924 \\  \\ 5180x = 93240 \\  \\ x=93240/5180 \\  \\ x=18

Scott burned 20 calories per minute jogging for x minutes and 5 calories per minute for biking for y minutes. He spent a total o
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations 1. one that calculates calories burned and 2.another that calculates minutes:

20*x + 5*y = 1200

x + y = 120

Then we can solve for x

x = 120 - y

then we can plug that into the top equation:

20(120 - y) + 5y = 1200

divide by 5:

4(120 - y) + y = 240

distribute:

480 - 4y + y = 240

and then do all that combining like factors what not and simplify and solve:

480 - 3y = 240

-3y = -240

y = 8

NOW WE CAN JUST PLUG IN THE ANSWER FOR Y TO FIND X

8+x =120

x = 112
