Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the original dimension of pentagon be x

So, we have ratio as follow:

\frac{3}{12}=\frac{x}{8}\\\\3\times 8=12\times x\\\\24=12\times x\\\\x=\frac{24}{12}=2

so, Paolo was asked to find the original of an enlarge pentagon.

And she did,

8x=36\\\\x=4.5

so, she made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion.

That's why she got wrong answer.

Hence, Second option is correct.

The correct answer is the second choice.

Paolo made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion. He should have multiplied the 3 and the 8 and also the 12 and the x.

The second line should be:

12x = 24

Answer:

1. alternating interior angles

2. 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition of <em>Alternating Interior Angles</em>, the angles must be located in between the parallel lines, and opposite of each other (hence alternating). The measurements of the two angles are exactly the same.

2. Since the angle measurements of Alternating Interior Angles are the same, x would = 60° as well.
