Step-by-step explanation:
11. YX = 4.5
RQ corresponds to ZY. If RQ is 4 and ZY is 3, then ΔQRP was dilated by 0.75 to form ΔYZX. (3/4 = 0.75). Using this knowledge, we can find the length of YX by multiplying 6 by 0.75. (YX corresponds to QP). 6 × 0.75 = 4.5.
12. 55°
All of a triangle's angles must add up to 180°. ∠Q is 88°. ∠Z is 37°. ∠Z is congruent to ∠R because corresponding angles in similar triangles are congruent. So, 88° + 37° = 125°. We need to get to 180°, so 180° - 125° = 55°.
13. 4.2
BC corresponds to DF. We need to find the scale factor, so divide 2.7 by 3.6. That equals 0.75. AC corresponds to EF. EF is 5.6, so multiply 5.6 by 0.75. That equals 4.2.
I hope this helps :))
General Idea:
In any right triangle,
1. The altitude to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean between the segments into which is separates the hypotenuse.
2. Each leg is a geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent of the leg.
Applying the concept:
Step 1: We need to label the given diagram and set up a proportion by comparing the similar triangles as provided in attached figure.
Setting up the proportion, we get...

B and c they don’t go through the origin
Answer:A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product you get -7/12 . What is the number.
Step-by-step explanation:Let p/q (q ≠ 0) denote the rational number. Multiplying it by 5/2 gives (p/q)(5/2). Add 2/3 to the product and we get (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 . The result is given to be -7/12.
∴ (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 = -7/12 …………………………..……………………………………..(1)
Transposing 2/3 to right-hand-side and changing the sign to negative,
(p/q)(5/2) = -2/3 -7/12 = -(2/3 + 7/12) =- (2 x 4 + 7)/12 (Taking L.C.M.)
Or, (p/q)(5/2) = -(8+7)/12 = - 15/12
Multiplying both sides by 2/5,
(p/q)(5/2) x (2/5) = -15/12 . 2/5 = -(3x5)/(3x4) . 2/5 =- 5/4 .2/5
Since 2/5 is the multiplicative inverse of 5/2, 5/2 x 2/5 = 1 and we obtain
(p/q).1 = -1/4 . 2/1 = -1/2
⇒ p/q = -1/2 which is a negative rational number in which p = 1 and q = 2 ≠ 0 .
∴ the rational number = -1/2
