Answer:
15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. To solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.
A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). Out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:
.
To solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
Well you can't actually find a number, but you can make an equation.
lets call the bag of candy x, and the number of students in the teachers class S.
she gives every student in her class 4 pieces, so to find that amount, we have to multiply the number of students in her class by 4, the pieces of candy. 4S
afterwards she has 48 pieces, which is the endpoint, x is the starting point because that's the amount of candy the teacher started with.
so your equation is x-4S=48, but the thing is, the question is looking for the amount of students she gave candy to, so we have to isolate S, or in easier words; put S on one side, and the numbers on the other.
so the equation is S=1/4x-12
B - 8x
To find this, combine like terms.
8x - 2x is 6x, then add the two x's on the side to bring it back to 8x.
Hope this helps!
