All the right triangles are similar.

x is the short side of the triangle with hypotenuse (2+8)=10.
x is the hypotenuse of the triangle with short side of length 2.

x/2 = 10/x . . . . ratio of hypotenuse to short side is the same for similar triangles
x^2 = 20 . . . . . multiply by 2x
x = √20 ≈ 4.47 . . . . . . . matches selection G

A 20” Square is being copied at 25%. What are the dimensions of the New square after being copied?

Triss [41]

Answer:

5"

Step-by-step explanation:

You are copying a square of side 20 inches into a smaller version of it that is exactly 25% of the original size.

Notice that 25% can be written in fraction form as: $\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4}$

This gives us a clue about how to reduce the original dimension: "multiply it by $\frac{1}{4}$ , which is the same as divide it by 4:

$20" * \frac{1}{4} = \frac{20"}{4} = 5"$

44 / 22 = 2.

Multiply 9/22 by 2:
