Answer: EF = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to Quadrilateral EFGH.

The scale factor is 3:2.

We know that the scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar figures.

So if Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to Quadrilateral EFGH, the side AB corresponds to side EF.

If AB = 18, then we have the following equation:-

$\dfrac{AB}{EF}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{18}{EF}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ EF=\dfrac{2\times18}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ EF=12$

Please help and explain would I still set this up with law of sine or use cosine

You would use the tangent first, because the opposite of 40 would be x and the adjacent would be 30ft

Answer: Choice C and Choice D

========================================================

Explanation:

Choice A doesn't work because it the $1 should be $7 instead.
Choice B doesn't work because it should be Elena spending $7 total on 3 notebooks and a $1 pen. The x is the amount per notebook.
Choice C does work. If x is the number of grapes Noah gives each friend, then 3x is the total amount Noah gives over. Then 3x+1 is the number of grapes total. That +1 at the end is the grape Noah eats. We end up with 3x+1 = 7 because Noah starts off with 7 grapes.
Choice D works also. The x is the number of hours for math, science and history each. So 3x is the combined time of those three classes. Add on 1 to get 3x+1 to represent all 7 hours, ie 3x+1 = 7.
Choice E does not work. If it was her spending $7 on 3 markers and a $1 pen, then it would work.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question it's about PEMDAS. This lesson it's about order of operations. p-parenthesis, e-exponents, m-multiply, d-divide, a-add, and s-subtract. It can also go left to right. multiply by the numbers. product it's going to be multiply by the numbers, fractions, factors, and multiples.

5*40=200

40*5=200

200/5=40

200/40=5

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Combine like terms -4-4y+2x-2x-6

allsm [11]

I adore combining like terms! :)

First, let's combine x's:

2x-2x cancel out to 0

Now y's:

-4y

And now numbers or constants:

-4-6=-10

Now write all the terms together:

-4y-10

Hope it helps!
