If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5

At a garden shop, a customer buys 5 geraniums and 4 lilies for $48. Another customer pays $58 for 4 geraniums and 6 lilies. Writ
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:

5 g + 4 l = 48

4 g + 6 l = 58

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:

20 g + 16 l = 192

20 g + 30 l = 290

Subtract the first equation from the second gives:

14 l = 98  which dividing by 14 gives  l = 7

Substituting the value  l = 7  in the first equation gives:

5 g + 28 = 48

Subtract 20 from both sides gives:

5 g = 20  divide by 5 gives  g = 4

So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.
