Answer:

Similarity means that two figures are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size, color or orientation, congruent means two figures are the same in every form.

Step-by-step explanation:

In my understanding, The Property of Rigid motion holds two points:

- The relative distance between two points stays the same,

- The relative position of the points stays the same

This includes, translations, reflections, and rotation but not to dilutions since it breaks these rules. The relative distance between points gets smaller after dilution.

The width of a rectangle is 3 units less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 28 units. What is the width, in units, of

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width W and the length L.

We know the width is 3 less than the length, so:

W = L - 3

And we know the area is 28, so:

28 = WL

If we solve for L in the first equation:

L = W + 3

And substitute into the second equation:

28 = W (W + 3)

28 = W² + 3W

0 = W² + 3W - 28

0 = (W + 7) (W - 4)

W = -7, 4

Since W can't be negative, W = 4 units.

Kolby decided he wanted to go to the amusement park. The amusement park charges $8.00 for entry and $1.40 for each ride.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Part A:

1.40x+8.00=C

Part B:

1.40x+8=26

-8 -8

1.40x=18

/1.40 /1.40

x=11 total rides

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression to represent this would be 1.40x+8.00=C (C is total cost).

If you had $26.00 you would first spend $8.00 on the entry leaving you with $18.00. Then you would divide the $18 by $1.40 for each ride to get 12.8... It doesn't make sense to go on a fraction of a ride so you just round down to 11 rides
