Answer:
I am having a hard time reading the letters, so I hope this makes sense. I think that the numbers for the top triangles is given is 6 and 3. That means that the scale factor from the little to the big is 2 and from the big to the little is 1/2. It is the same for the bottom triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangles are similar the scale factors will be the same for all three corresponding sides of the triangle. You find the two sides that are corresponding and ask yourself what do I have to multiple the side of of triangle to get the new triangle.
If one side is 3 and the other triangles side is 6. I am asking myself what do I have to multiple 3 by to get 6? 2. That is my scale factor.
3x = 6
x = 2
The scale factors are always reciprocals of each other. If I go the other direction I can write the equation
6x = 3 and when I divide both sides by 6, I get a scale factor of 1/2.
The bottom triangles:
2.5 x = 5
x = 2
and
5x = 2.5
x =1/2
16.24 ÷ 1,000 = 0.01624
Good luck! <3
Answer:
-4 to -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
When the graph start to slope downwards or go down its decreasing. So when the hump starts to go down at (-4,0) it then starts to go up again after (-1.5,0). Hope this helps:)

Let h = height of triangle
h^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
h^2 + 144 = 225
h^2 = 225 - 144
h^2 = 81
sqrt{h^2} = sqrt{81}
h = 9 cm
For part B, we need to find surface area because it represents the perimeter of this 3-D figure. The formula needed is SA = B + LA.
1. First find the lateral area.
LA = perimeter of triangle • height
LA = ph
p = 15 + 15 + 24
p = 30 + 24
p = 54 cm
LA = (54)(9)
LA = 486 cm^2
2. We now find the base of each triangle. This is found by finding the area of each triangle and multiplying by 2.
A = (1/2)bh
A = (1/2)(24)(9)
A = 108 cm^2
A = 2•108 cm^2
A = 216 cm^2 = our B in the surface area formula.
SA = B + LA
SA = 216 cm^2 + 486 cm^2
SA = 702 cm^2
The amount of cardboard needed is 702 cm^2.
