Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 6 and y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

AB = x                     DF = 18

BC = 5                     FE = 15

AC = 3                     DE = y

Process

1.- Find y

Use proportions to find it

                 DE/FE = AC/BC

Substitution

                 y/15 = 3/5

Solve for y

                  y = 15(3/5)

                  y = 45/5

                  y = 9

2.- Find x

                AB/DF = BC/FE

Substitution

                x/18 = 5/15

Solve for x

                x = 18(5/15)

                x = 90/15

                x = 6

A scale drawing has a scale of 5mm : 1cm. What is the scale factor?
Advocard [28]
First, one must note that there are 10 mm in each cm. Filling that in for one centimeter, and then taking away the mm sign because it is common, that makes the equation become 5:10 which is equal to 1:2.
