The radius of the Outer circle (with r₂) is 6 and the radius of the inner circle (with r₁) is 2. When objects are similar, they have a proportional relationship. If we take the outer circle and squeeze by one third, we get a radius of 6 x 1/3 = 2. On the other hand, if we start with the inner circle and stretch it by 3, we get a radius of 2 x 3 = 6.
Thus, to make r₂ similar, we use a scale factor of 1/3. The third choice is best.
Write an equation. To do this, make one integer equal to x, and the other equal to x+1. Set these equal to 149. Your equation should read x+(x+1)=149. Solve. To do this, add the two x's together. Your equation is now 2x+1=149. Get your x's alone. First, subtract 1 from both sides. Now the equation is 148=2x. Divide both sides by 2 to get x alone. You now have x=74. Plug this value back into the original equation to find your value for the other integer, and you have the two integers as 74 and 75. Hope this helps!
