Answer:
Perimeter A = 122.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the following proportion
The Perimeter of B = 12 + 9 + 9 + 5
The Perimeter of B = 35
7/2 = x/PerimeterB
7/2 = x / 35 Cross multiply
7*35 = 2x Combine the left side
245 = 2x Divide by 2
245/2 = 2x/2 Do the division
122.5 = x
The Perimeter of A = 122.5
Problem 3
If you compare the sides opposite the angle marked with a single arc, you will get the scale factor.
If these triangles are similar, and one of the sides opposite their markings will give you the scale factor
18/7.2 = x/1 where x is the scale factor going from the larger to the smaller triangle.
2.5 = x
So if you multiply the smaller triangle's sides by 2.5 you get the larger triangle.
Answer:
x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4(x−9)=20
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(x−9)=20
(4)(x)+(4)(−9)=20(Distribute)
4x+−36=20
4x−36=20
Step 2: Add 36 to both sides.
4x−36+36=20+36
4x=56
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.
4x
