Answer:
I am having a hard time reading the letters, so I hope this makes sense. I think that the numbers for the top triangles is given is 6 and 3. That means that the scale factor from the little to the big is 2 and from the big to the little is 1/2. It is the same for the bottom triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangles are similar the scale factors will be the same for all three corresponding sides of the triangle. You find the two sides that are corresponding and ask yourself what do I have to multiple the side of of triangle to get the new triangle.
If one side is 3 and the other triangles side is 6. I am asking myself what do I have to multiple 3 by to get 6? 2. That is my scale factor.
3x = 6
x = 2
The scale factors are always reciprocals of each other. If I go the other direction I can write the equation
6x = 3 and when I divide both sides by 6, I get a scale factor of 1/2.
The bottom triangles:
2.5 x = 5
x = 2
and
5x = 2.5
x =1/2
To determine the length of time it would took for the biker to cool down, we need the rate that would relate the distance he traveled to cool down per units of time. For this problem, the rate is given as 0.25 miles per minute. So, we simply divide the total distance he traveled with this rate. We calculate as follows:
time to cool down = distance / rate
time to cool down = 35 miles / 0.25 miles / minute
time to cool down = 140 minutes or 2 hrs and 20 minutes
Therefore, the biker would need to cool down for about 2 hrs and 20 minutes if he traveled for 35 miles.
