We consider the x- and y-coordinates separately. Let the coordinates of G be (x, y). Now considering the x-coordinates:
FG/FH = (x - (-3)) / (-3 - (-3)) = 2/3
x + 3 = (2/3)(6)
x = 1
For the y-coordinates:
FG/FH = (y - 2) / (7 - 2) = 2/3
y - 2 = (2/3)(5)
y = 16/3
Therefore the coordinates of G are (1, 16/3).
22 square feet because there is 5 1/2 on each wall
C is right. She has partially completed the construction. Her next step is to use the arc markings to determine the radius to construct the circle.
The ~ symbol means that the 2 shapes are similar, meaning the same shape but not the same size.
To determine the measure of side length EF, you must find the relationship between the 2 side lengths.
You should set these up as ratios of the length to the width. So, for ABCD, it is 30/45. Make this equal to x/75. If you simplify the first ratio to 2:3, you can then multiply by both numerator and denominator by 25 to get x = 25 in/ 75 in.
Another way is to use cross products with you proportion. 75 x 30 = 45x. Solve for x to get 50 inches.
