1/4 + 1/10 = 5/20 + 2/20 = 7/20 = 0.35
5.25/0.35 = 15
15 bracelets
Answer:
b. not similar
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sides* have the ratio 30:39 = 10:13 in one triangle and the ratio 20:27 = 10:13.5 in the other triangle. Since these ratios are different, the triangles cannot be similar.
____
* These are the sides bracketing the vertical angles at T. If the triangles were similar, the three sides would have to have the ratios 10 : 13 : 13.5.
However, the geometry shown would require that the angle opposite side 13.5 in one triangle have the same measure as the angle opposite side 13 in the other triangle. That is not possible, so it is not possible for these triangles to be similar.
To answer this, you need to know the general form of an absolute value function. the equation for this is f(x<span>) = </span>a|x<span> - </span>h<span>| + </span>k, and in this equation, the vertex is (h, k).
with that information, you can see that your vertex will be (-5, 7). you must take the negative for 5 because the general equation states that your h value is usually subtracted from x. to check your vertex, try plugging it into your general equation:
f(x) = a|x - (-5)| + 7
f(x) = a|x + 5| + 7 ... you see that this matches your given equation. this last part here was just to show why your 5 must be negative; your answer is bolded.
The answer is x=6. Hope this helped.
