Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Comparing the shortest sides, that is

10 : 6 = 5 : 3

let the longest side be x, then using proportion

\frac{26}{5} = \frac{x}{3} ( cross- multiply )

5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 15.6

The longest side is 15.6 ft

A cheetah ran 300 ft. in 2.92 seconds. What was the cheetah's average speed in miles per hour? Show your work
vivado [14]
So, the cheetah's speed is 300/2.92 ft/sec

now, to convert it to miles/hr

well, there are 5280 ft in 1mile
and 60 minutes in 1hr
and 60 seconds in 1minute

so   \bf \cfrac{300\ f}{2.92\ s}\cdot \cfrac{1\ mi}{5280\ f}\cdot \cfrac{60\ min}{1\ hr}\cdot \cfrac{60\ sec}{1\ min}\\\\\\ \cfrac{300\cdot 1\cdot 60\cdot 60}{2.92\cdot 5280\cdot 1\cdot 1}\cdot \cfrac{f}{f}\cdot \cfrac{min}{min}\cdot \cfrac{sec}{sec}\cdot \cfrac{mi}{hr}

Please help! (I'll give brainliest to the first right answer.)
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

1. initial point is (2, 4)

reflected point is (-2, 4)

the coordinates are similar because they involve the same numbers, however, with the reflection across the Y axis, the X point became negative.

2. initial point is (2, 4)

reflected point is (2, -4)

again, same numbers but the X value becomes negative

Hope this helps!
