Answer:
212.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's a theorem about triangle areas.
If two similar triangles have sides in the ratio x:y,
then their areas are in the ratio x2:y2
The triangles have sides in the ratio:
LP/LN = 10/25
The two triangles have areas in the ratio 100:625 (4/25)
For every 4 in the small triangle, there are 25 in the larger triangle.
34/4 = 8.5
25 times 8.5 =212.5
Answer: 1.) x - 2y = 4 , add 2y to both sides. ---> answer is, X = 2y + 4
2.) 2x - 6y = 8, Add 6y to both sides, then divide both sides by 2. --> answer is, X = 3y + 4
