Answer:

The corresponding side is 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have area, it is the related to the scale factor by the scale factor squared

Area large/ area of small = 18/8 = 9/4

Take the square root

sqrt(9/4)  = 3/2

The scale factor is 3/2    large to small

The large side is 4.5 cm

large         3            4.5 cm

--------   =  ------ =  -----------

small           2           x cm

Using cross products

3x = 2(4.5)

3x =9

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 9/3

x =3

1/2y-3/5=4/5 what is this?
user100 [1]

Answer:

1 2⋅−1⋅3 5=4 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

12y−1⋅35=45

\frac{1}{2}y-1 \cdot \frac{3}{5}=\frac{4}{5}

21​y−1⋅53​=54​

12−1⋅35=45

Answer this by 4:20 EST and I will mark brainliest
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, a ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, - 4 )

m = \frac{-4-a}{9-6} = \frac{-4-a}{3}

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

2x - 3y = 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3y = - 2x + 6 ( divide through by - 3 )

y = \frac{2}{3} x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{2}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

\frac{-4-a}{3} = \frac{2}{3} , so

- 4 - a = 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

-a = 6 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = - 6 → A
