First convert the feet to inches:

3 feet= 36 in.; 4 feet=48 in.

Make an equation for each one:

Type A: h=36+15x

Type B: h=48+10x

Since the questions wants the heights to be equal, h=h so you can substitute so you have:

36+15x=48+10x

5x=12

x=2 2/5 years or 2.4 years

Prove that the two circles shown below are similar. (10 points) Circle C is shown with a center at negative 3, 1 and a radius of

Answer:

Well, in reality, all circles are similar to each other. They will all have the same angles, and they don't really have side lengths. So, they are similar.

But to PROVE they are similar, we will transform Circle C to match circle E.

Circle C has a center at (-3, 1), and Circle E has a center of (4, 9). For Circle C to have the same center as Circle E, we will translate Circle C 7 units to the right, and 8 units up.

Since Circle C has a radius of 4, and Circle E has a radius of 3, dilate Circle C by a factor of 3/4. That way, the radius is 3 units as well.

And there you go! The two circles will map perfectly on top of each other.

Hope this helps!
