Answer:

  • ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
  • PQ = 8
  • PR = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...

  ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity

__

The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.

  PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8

  PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14

The side lengths of interest are ...

  PQ = 8, PR = 14

A fraction is a way of showing a division by showing the number you are dividing and the number you are dividing by. The number you are dividing is called the numerator. It goes above a horizontal line. The number you are dividing by is the denominator and it goes below the horizontal line. When typing, a slash takes the place of the horizontal line.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Company A:

c = 40 + 2s

Company B:

c = 20 + 4s

Equal costs => 40 + 2s = 20 +4s => 4s - 2s = 40 - 20 => 2s = 20 => s = 20/2

=> s = 10

And c = 20 + 4s = 20 + 4(10) = 20 + 40 = 60
