I'll do problem 1 to get you started.
The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.
The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.
The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)
3/x = 15/60
3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply
180 = 15x
15x = 180
x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15
x = 12
----------
Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion
3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12
Or you could set up the proportion
60/15 = x/3
4 = x/3
x/3 = 4
x = 3*4
x = 12

<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>
This is called the median.
Answer:
12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + 5 = 10
34 - 10 = 24
24 ÷ 2 = 12
Therefore, the answer is 12 inches.
Answer:
Let the integers are p and q.
In case both integers are positive or negative, you add the numbers up and apply their sign to the sum.
<u>Examples:</u>
- 10 + 88 = 98
- -20 + (-15) = -35
In case one of the integers is negative and one positive.
Use absolute value in this case.
Subtract the numbers and apply the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
<u>Examples:</u>
- - 10 + 15 = |15 - 10| = |5| = 5
- - 15 + 10 = - |15 - 10| = - |5| = -5
