Given that the triangles are similar.
When triangles are similar, all three pairs of corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
Similarly in the given triangles, the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal.
Cross multiplying, we get
Dividing both sides of the equation by -4.
So, we get
x = 7.
Yes you can assume they are similar because the sides that correspond with one another are half of the big triangles measurements. 16/2=8 12/2=6 etc.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Under a translation < 5, - 9 >
5 is added to the original x- coordinate and 9 is subtracted from the original y- coordinate, that is
A(1, 4 ) → A'(1 + 5, 4 - 9 ) → A'(6, - 5 )
B(2, - 2 ) → B'(2 + 5, - 2 - 9 ) → B'(7, - 11 )
C(- 3, 2 ) → C'(- 3 + 5, 2 - 9 ) → C'(2, - 7 )
