Answer:

  3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of areas of similar figures is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions. That means the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the area ratio. The ratio of the smaller triangle dimensions to the larger is then ...

  k = √((8 cm^2)/(18 cm^2)) = √(4/9) = 2/3

Then the corresponding side of the smaller triangle is ...

... k · (4.5 cm) = (2/3)·(4.5 cm) = 3 cm

Any idea ? I need help
trasher [3.6K]
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2= c^2

a= one side= 68 mi
b= second side= 80 mi
c= hypotenuse= Greenville to Columbia mi


a^2 + b^2= c^2

68^2 + 80^2= c^2
square each number

4,624 + 6,400= c^2

11,024= c^2
take square root of both sides

104.995 mi= c


ANSWER: The distance from Greenville to Columbia is 104.995 miles (rounded to 105 miles).

Hope this helps! :)

13. What is the value of x?
Scilla [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  50

Step-by-step explanation:

The alternate interior angles at transversal t across parallel lines AB and CD will be congruent.

  2x +40 = x +90

  x = 50 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x+40

The value of x is 50.

_____

<em>Check</em>

2x+40 = 2×50 +40 = 140

x+90 = 50 +90 = 140 . . . . so the obtuse angles are congruent, as they should be

___

<em>Additional comment</em>

The lines AB and CD are not shown as being parallel. We have to assume they are, or we cannot work the problem.
