Answer:
a) Similar triangles are triangles with the same shape but not necessarily the same size
b) 15/45 = 8/x
1/3 = 8/x (simplify the 15/45)
x = 8 * 3 (cross multiplication)
x = 24
c) y^2 = 15^2 + 8^2 (Pythagoras theorem)
y = *square root of* 15^2 + 8^2
y = 17
1/3 = 17/z
z = 17 * 3 (cross multiplication)
z = 51
Answer:
0.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the 2 equations:
5x-2y=18
-5x+3y=-22
You can see that the coefficients of x are opposites, so you can add them(the 2 equations) to eliminate x.
Adding them, you get:
y=-3
So now that you know y, you can substitute the value of y into one of the original equations. Let's substitute it in the first one:
5x+6=18
Solving this, we get:
5x=12
x=12/5
x=12/5, y=-3
It will be A bc youre multiplying the total amount of the car by how much it is worth. If it is decreasing by 10% each year then it is worth 90% of its value, hence 0.9
