Please help me solve this problem on similar figures➕➖

To begin to solve this problem, we need to figure out by what number the sides are similar. That means what do we have to multiply the sides of one triangle to get the sides of the other triangle.


If the longest side of a similar triangle measures 39 centimeters, we can divide 39 by 65 (the longest side of the triangle we know) to figure out what we have to multiply each of the sides of the triangle. 39 / 65 is 0.6, so the triangles are similar by a factor of 0.6.


Since the question asks us for the length of the shortest side, we need to multiply the length of the shortest side of the triangle that we know (25) by 0.6. 25 * 0.6 is 15, so the length of the shortest side of this triangle is 15 cm.

A similar triangle means it is of a diferent size, but the sides or angles are proportionaly the same.


Use the rule of 3 on each number, to find the equivalent sides:


65 - 39

60 - x


(60 * 39) / 65

2340 / 65

36cm



60 - 36

25 - x


(25*36) / 60

900 / 60

15cm



Original triangle: 65, 60, 25

Similar triangle: 39, 36, 15


Answer:


\boxed{\bf~The~smallest~side~of~the~trianlge~measures~15cm.}




Hope it helped,


Happy homework/ study/ exam!

The weight of a full steel bead tire is approximately 800
AleksAgata [21]

Answer: 1.76

1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to divide 800 by 453.592, and the result is 1.763699... rounding it: 1.76

now we do the same for 700 :

700 divided by 453.592 is 1.5432... so rounding it down: 1.54

Make up your own multiplication and division problem and solve them
Marysya12 [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

10.5 \div 5 = 2.1 \\

52.3 \times 2 = 104.6

82.5 \div 5 = 16.5

45 \times 6.5 = 292.5

Write an equation for a circle with a diameter that has endpoints at (–10, 1) and (–8, 5). Round to the nearest tenth if necessa
satela [25.4K]

The standard form for the equation of a circle is :

<span><span><span> (x−h)^</span>2</span>+<span><span>(y−k)^</span>2</span>=<span>r2</span></span><span> ----------- EQ(1)
</span><span> where </span><span>handk</span><span> are the </span><span>x and y</span><span> coordinates of the center of the circle and </span>r<span> is the radius.
</span> The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

 So the midpoint of the diameter with endpoints at (−10,1)and(−8,5) is :

 ((−10+(−8))/2,(1+5)/2)=(−9,3)

 So the point (−9,3) is the center of the circle.

  Now, use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle:

  r^2=(−10−(−9))^2+(1−3)^2=1+4=5

 ⇒r=√5

 Subtituting h=−9, k=3 and r=√5 into EQ(1) gives :

 (x+9)^2+(y−3)^2=5
