Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of
the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Let x be the amount of time in hours
Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters
The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).
Now plug in x=21, we get
Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.

Answer:
59) not similar
60)
Step-by-step explanation:
59) The ratios of the side lengths shown cannot be reduced. They are different, so the triangles are not similar.
7:8:12 ≠ 6:7:11
__
60) The side length ratios both reduce to 8:7:10, so the triangles are similar.
∆ABC ~ ∆JKL
The scale factor is LJ/CA = 25/20 = 5/4. (Multiplying ABC by 5/4 will give JKL.)
