Answer:

please mark me as brainliest answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 17 and their difference is 5. What are the two numbers? Let's start by calling the two numbers we are looking for x and y.

The sum of x and y is 17. In other words, x plus y equals 17 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 17

The difference between x and y is 5. In other words, x minus y equals 5 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = 5

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x - y = 5

x = 5 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 17

5 + y + y = 17

5 + 2y = 17

2y = 12

y = 6

Now we know y is 6. Which means that we can substitute y for 6 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 17

x + 6 = 17

X = 11

Summary: The sum of two numbers is 17 and their difference is 5. What are the two numbers? Answer: 11 and 6 as proven here:

Sum: 11 + 6 = 17

Difference: 11 - 6 = 5

The third statement is correct.

All isosceles triangles are not similar. The pair of congruent angles within one triangle is not necessarily congruent to the pair of congruent angles within the other triangle.

Question:
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2

part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4

part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).

we know that

The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

Let

z ----> the scale factor

\frac{CB}{C'B'}=\frac{CD}{C'D'}=\frac{BD}{B'D'}

The scale factor is equal to

z=\frac{CB}{C'B'}

substitute

z=\frac{4}{8}

simplify

z=\frac{1}{2}

Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?

<em>Area of the small triangle</em>

A=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)=4\ units^2

<em>Area of the large triangle</em>

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(8)=16\ units^2

ratio of the areas (small to large)

ratio=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}

Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures

In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

         Write an equation for the line that passes through (0, 1) and has a slope of 2 (in point-slope form).

\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}\diamond

<u>Point-slope form</u>:-

      \sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}

Substitute 1 for y₁, 2 for m, and 0 for x₁:-

\sf{y-1=2(x-0)}

So we conclude that Option B is correct.

<h3>Good luck.</h3>
