Hey there!
Your answer is C.
If you take the lengths of the legs of the triangle, which are 12 and 4, we can multiply them by the scale factor to see what the legs of our new triangle is.
12 x 1/4 = 3
4 x 1/4 = 1
So, the legs of our new triangle have lengths of 1 and 3.
We can see that option C has the correct triangle in red.
If we're looking at the ratio of rise to run of each triangle, it is 1/3 for both the large triangle and the small triangle.
The rise for the larger triangle is 4, and the run is 12. That is 4/12, which can be simplified to 1/3.
The rise for the smaller triangle is 1, and the run is 3. That is 1/3, which is all the way simplified already.
These triangles are similar because the first one was dilated to get the second one, which explains why the ratios are the same.
Hope this helps!
Answer: The number of calories increased by 20%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The doctor recommended that Mike increase the number of calories he burns working out from 1,500 to 1,800.
Previous number of calories he used to burn = 1,500
Increase in calories = 1800-1500=300
Now , the percent increase in calories = 
Hence , the number of calories increased by 20%.
Answer: Velveeta
Step-by-step explanation:
Unit rate is basically the price for a single slice. This being said you would divide 2.50 by 10 and you would get .25, then you would do 4.00 by 20 which would be .20. So the better deal would be Velveeta.
Answer:
8 pounds of apples.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 pies need 2 pounds of apples.
so 1 pie needs 2/5 pounds
- and 20 pies needs 20 * 2/5
= 40/5
= 8 pounds of apples.
X + Y= 8
If you plug the value (3, 5) for x and y, you will arrive at your destination (answer).
X=3
Y=5
3 + 5 = 8
