Each polygon pair is similar. Find the missing side length

I'll do problem 1 to get you started.

The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.

The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.

The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)

3/x = 15/60

3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply

180 = 15x

15x = 180

x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15

x = 12

----------

Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion

3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12

Or you could set up the proportion

60/15 = x/3

4 = x/3

x/3 = 4

x = 3*4

x = 12

-----------

<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>

25%


If you are buying 2 shirts for the same price, you have to calculate the cost of the shirt at half price first (1 piece of the pie) and then add it the original price (2 equal pieces of the pie since you just divided that to the price of the second shirt). That would be considered 3 out of 4 pieces off the pie or 75%. Your savings would be 25%.

The coordinates of an ordered pair have opposite signs. In which quadrant(s) must the ordered pair lie? Explain.
Alex_Xolod [135]
Alright...so the coordinates of an ordered pair have opposite signs [one sign is positive while the other is negative] so we could have an example of (-x,+y) or (+x,-y) ...that means out of the 4 quadrants these points could be in the 2nd quadrant or the 4th quadrant or corners of the graph
