Answer:
The hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the Pythagorean theorem states that in any right triangle the lengths of the three sides are related by the equation A ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = C ^ 2, to determine the length of the hypotenuse in a right thangle with legs 5 inches and 12 inches the following calculation should be performed:
5 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2 = X ^ 2
25 + 144 = X ^ 2
√169 = X
13 = X
Therefore, the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.
Ok so first, you put the sides into a ratio. The question says that triangle GKNM is congruent to triangle VRPT. From this, we know that side GK is congruent to VR. So, we write that as a ratio. Also, we know that KN is congruent to RP. We also write that as a ratio. Then, using equations, we solve for x. But, we aren't done yet; the expression for side KN is 3x-2 and, we already know that x is equal to 4.4
So, we do 3*4.4-2 which is 11.2. Therefore, side KN is equal to 11./2Then, the expression for side RP is x+4. We already know that x is equal to 4.4. So, we do 4.4+4 which is 8.4. Therefore, side RP is equal to 8.4.
Oh, and the scale factor is 4:3 or 1.33 because you do 8.4/6.3 ( you can also do 11.2/8.4)
hope this helps ;)
It is a fraction.
For example : 50/100 ... 50 is a part on 100.
100 in decimal term would be 1.00
.85 is LESS than 1.00 causing it to be a part/ or portion of 100.
