Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12
I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
Around 4 : 3 because the measurements might not be perfect.
<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>
So the ratio of the NEW : ORIGINAL is just one side of the rectangle to the other side of the original one.
We know that the newer rectangle (or the larger one) has 4 cm as its side and that the original one (the smaller one) has 3cm as its side. Then we can create the ratio of NEW : ORIGINAL as: 4 : 3
The price of the item is now $180
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
divide into two shapes. the first one being 2 x 4 units and the second being 2 x 2.
2 x 4 = 8
2 x 2 = 4
8 + 4 = 12
The answer is 12 square units.
