Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles with the same shape but different size are proportional. Proportional means that their side lengths form equal ratios. To solve for x, set up a proportion.
The ratios we will create will be 
where each long and short are corresponding sides from each triangle.
So write:
To solve, cross multiply numerator with denominator.
4(2.25) = 3(x)
9 = 3x
3 =x
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
DB = 9 units (by counting)
BA = 12 units (by counting)
DA can be found by using the pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
BD^2 + BA^2 = DA ^2
9^2 +12^2 = DA^2
81 +144 = DA^2
225 = DA ^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(225) = sqrt(DA^2)
15 = DA
LJ = 3 units (by counting)
JK = 4 units (by counting)
LK can be found by using the pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
LJ^2 + JK^2 = LK ^2
3^2 +4^2 = LK^2
9 +116 = LK^2
25 = LK ^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(25) = sqrt(LK^2)
5 = LK
Scale factor from BAD to JKL
15 to 5
Divide each side by 5
3 to 1
We multiply by 1/3 to go from the big to small
Answer:
Zero
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite of negative three is positive three so positive three minus negative three equals zero
