Answer:
missing side length is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
similar means that all correlating pairs of sides have the same ratio (old side length) / (new side length).
so, when we know the ratio of one pair, we can apply it to any other side to calculate the correlating side.
we see, when we go from small to large, that we have the ratio 32/40 = 4/5.
so, multiplying the larger side by this, we get the shorter side.
15 × 4/5 = 3 × 4 = 12
the proportion part in your picture is a bit confusing :
yes,
x/15 = 32/40 = 32/40
I don't know, why this last expression was repeated.
x/15 = 32/40
x = 15×32/40 = 15×4/5 = 3×4 = 12
as you see we get of course the same result doing it that way.
Answer:
Rhombus
Step-by-step explanation:
Shape of a playground is a quadrilateral
It is given that all sides of a quadrilateral are= 27 feet
Since all the sides of a quadrilateral are equal that it can be either a rhombus or it can be a square
Two angle are 65° each
And other two angers are 115° each
65°+ 115°= 180°
It forms a co-interior angle
Hence the quadrilateral is a parallelogram
Since all the four sides of parallelogram are equal, than the given figure must be rhombus
Hence, geomatric shape best describes the shape of the playground is Rhombus.
Linear, decrease by 2 for every decrease of x.
Above step we use "Multiplication property of equality"
In the above step we "Simplify on both sides of equation"
In the above step we use "Distribution property"
The above step is the result of using "Subtraction property of equality"
Above step is result of "Combining the like terms"
Above step is the result of using "Division property of equality"
Above step is result of "Simplifying fractions on either side of equation"
