Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The two right triangles share angle A, so the similarity statement can be written ...
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
Corresponding sides are proportional, so we have ...
BC/DE = AB/AD
x/12 = 3/(3+9)
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 12
Answer:
b)37.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio 3:2 is the same as 1.5, so you multiply 1.5 & 25 to get 37.5 units
Answer:
constant of proportionality
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that we have two proportional quantities; one is x and one is y.
If we know whether the relationship between them is direct or inverse proportion, then the ratio of the two quantities y/x gives us a constant generally known as the constant of proportionality.
