AA Theorem: To show two triangles are similar, it is sufficient to show that two angles of one triangle are congruent (equal) to two angles of the other triangle. All three triangles have a right angle and they all share the common angle at point S.
Flagpole is 32 meters from point S: so 1.5/8 = x/32 where x is FG
cross-multiply: 32 • 1.5 = 8x
48 = 8x
x = 6 meters
building is a total of 240 meters from point S, so: 1.5/8 = x / 240 where x is BD
cross-multiply: 240 • 1.5 = 8x
360 = 8x
<span>x = 45 meters</span>
Answer:
36 and 27
Step-by-step explanation:
4+3=7
63/7=9
9x4=36
9x3=27
Y = mx + b
8x - 4y - 9 = 0
first you move the nine to the other side of the equal sign (add nine to both sides)
8x - 4y = 9
then you need to also move your 8x over to the other side as well (remember we are trying to get y by itself!)
- 4y = -8x + 9
then we are going to divide -4 to both sides
and you get
y = 2x - 9/4
we can then identify the slope as 2
so B. 2 would be your answer
hope this helped
