Answer:

<u>Let's verify is the corresponding sides have same ratio:</u>

  • ΔABC, sides: 6, 9, 11
  • ΔXYZ, sides: 21, 31.5, 38.5

<u>Ratios:</u>

  • 6/21 = 2/7  (divide by 3)
  • 9/31.5 = 2/ 7 (divide by 4.5)
  • 11/38.5  = 2/7 (divide by 5.5)

The ratios are same, so the triangles <u>are similar</u>

  • Yes, the sides are all proportional

The scale factor (ΔABC to ΔXYZ) is <u>2/7</u> (or ΔXYZ to ΔABC is 7/2 = <u>3.5</u>)

Which number line represents the solution to the inequality x - 3 &gt; 2
Ivahew [28]

Answer: x > 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get x by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from x, we add 3 to

both sides of the inequality to get x > 5.

When graphing x > 5, we have an open circle on 5 and the

open circle tells us that 5 is not part of our answer.

Then we draw an arrow going to the right to represent

all possible solutions to this inequality, any number greater than 5.
