Answer:
6 3/8 inches (6.375 inches)
Step-by-step explanation:
For simplicity we'll assume that both the photo and the poster board are square. To determine the width of the border, subtract 8.5 inches from the poster board width 21.25 inches, obtaining 12.75 inches, and then divide that 12.75 inches by 2: 6.375 inches (6 3/8 inches).
Set the photo 6 3/8 inches from each edge of the poster board.
I'm pretty sure the answer is 2.9 because It's closer to 3 than 2
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
