16 / 5 = 48 / 12

16 * 12 = 5 * 48
192 = 240

which is incorrect  so 5 cannot be the solution of the equation.

substituting 4 for x  will give you 192=192

2) The triangles are similar. Find the similarity ratio of the first triangle to the 1 point
USPshnik [31]

Given:

Triangles FRI and DAY are similar.

To find:

Similarity ratio

Solution:

<em>If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.</em>

Here, FR and DA are corresponding sides.

$\Rightarrow \frac{FR}{DA} =\frac{4}{6}

Cancel the common factors of 4 and 6, we get

$\Rightarrow \frac{FR}{DA} =\frac{2}{3}

⇒ FR : DA = 2 : 3

⇒ ΔFRI : ΔDAY = 2 : 3

Similarity ratio of the first triangle to the second triangle is 2 : 3.

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (0,1) and has a gradient of 2.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

  • y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point (0, 1) and the slope m = 2

<u>Use point- slope form to find the equation of the line:</u>

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • y - 1 = 2(x - 0)
  • y - 1 = 2x
  • y = 2x + 1

Nathan has three pieces of wood the first is 9.8 feet in length the second is 7.5 feet in length and the third is 12 feet in len
snow_tiger [21]
9.4 Ft for the first one

7.5 Ft for the second piece

12 Ft for the Third

he uses 5.2 Ft from the first piece of wood so 9.4 - 5.2= 4.6ft
he uses 6.1 ft from the second piece of wood , 7.5 - 6.1 = 1.4 ft
Nathan didnt use any of the 3rd piece of wood , so he still have 12 Feet of wood remaining so, 12+4.6+1.4 = 18 feet of wood left that he didnt use.
