The two slopes are the key features. If the slopes are different, the two linear function will intercept.
8x3 is 24, 3x5 is 15, 8x5 is 40, 24 + 15 + 40 is 79 79x2 is 158
Answer:
a. m<B = 100°
b. m<L = 55°
c. Scale factor = 9/11
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Similar triangles have their three corresponding angles congruent to each other, while the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional to each other.
Since ∆ABC ~ ∆GLJ, therefore,
<A = <G,
<B = <J
<C = <L
m<J = 100° (given)
Therefore,
m<B = m<J = 100°
m<B = 100°
b) m<A = m<G
m<A = 25° (given)
Therefore,
m<A = m<G = 25°
m<G = 25°
m<L = 180° - (m<J + m<G)
Substitute
m<L = 180° - (100° + 25°)
m<L = 55°
c) scale factor of smaller triangle to the larger = side length of smaller triangle / corresponding side length of bigger triangle
Scale factor = AB/GJ
Substitute
Scale factor = 18/22
Simplify
Scale factor = 9/11
keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)
Answer:
The area of the floor space is equal to 5.83 sq yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Each row requires a section of floor that is 1 ¾ yards by 3 ⅓ yards.
We need to find how many square yards of floor space are taken up by one row of cheerleaders.
We know that, the area of a rectangle is given by :
A = lb
So,
So, the area of the floor space is equal to 5.83 sq yards.
