the first three choices will have changes in size making them similar but not congruent
Answer:
$15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
y × 100 = 5 × 15
100y = 75
100y ÷ 100 = 75 ÷ 100
y = 0.75
$15 - $0.75
$14.25
y × 100 = 10 × 15
100y = 150
100y ÷ 100 = 150 ÷ 100
y = 1.5
$14.25 + $1.50
$15.75
Infinite solutions for this
Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.
