I'll do problem 1 to get you started.
The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.
The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.
The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)
3/x = 15/60
3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply
180 = 15x
15x = 180
x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15
x = 12
----------
Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion
3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12
Or you could set up the proportion
60/15 = x/3
4 = x/3
x/3 = 4
x = 3*4
x = 12
-----------
<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>
Answer:
Each side is 4.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of a square you add all the sides.
But to find the side length you do the opposite. Which is the equation above.
Hope this helps : )
Answer:
19/18
Step-by-step explanation:
The GCF of 9, 3, and 18 is 18.
Each denominator must be multiplied to 18, and as a result what you multiply in the denominator MUST be multiplied in the numerator.
9 * 2 = 18
1 * 2 = 2
2/18
3 * 6 = 18
6 * 2 = 12
12/18
5/18
Add all three fractions together:
12/18 + 5/18 + 2/18 = 19/18
Difference is 61.75 and the answer is 33.25 for the total price after reduction
