Since rectangle ABCD is similar to HGFE, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. We can infer form our picture that AD is corresponding to EH and DC is corresponding to HG, so lets find the ratios of those corresponding sides and establish a proportion to find the length of HG:
$\frac{AD}{EH} = \frac{DC}{HG}$
We know that $AD=45$ , $EH=27$ , and $DC=15$ , so lets replace those values in our proportion:
$\frac{45}{27} = \frac{15}{HG}$
$HG= \frac{27*15}{45}$
$HG= \frac{405}{45}$
$HG=9$

We can conclude that the length of the segment HG is 9.

What is the numerator of the simplified sum?

sashaice [31]

Answer:

4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{x² + 3x + 2} + \frac{3}{x + 1}$

To determine what the numerator would be, after simplifying both fractions, take the following steps:

Step 1: Factorise the denominator of the first fraction, x² + 3x + 2.

Thus,

x² + 2x + x + 2

(x² + 2x) + (x + 2)

x(x + 2) +1(x + 2)

(x + 1)(x + 2)

We would now have the following as our new fractions to add together and simplify:

$\frac{x}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} + \frac{3}{x + 1}$

Step 2: find the highest common factor of the denominator of both fractions.

Highest common factor of (x + 1)(x + 2) and (x + 1) = (x + 1)(x + 2)

Step 3: To add both fractions, divide the highest common factor gotten in step 2 by each denominator, and then multiply the result by the numerator of each fraction.

Thus,

$\frac{x}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} + \frac{3}{x + 1}$

$\frac{x + 3(x + 2)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)}$
