Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar so we can use ratios

4x+12      32

-------  = ------------

15             8

Using cross products

(4x+12) *8 = 15 * 32

(4x+12) *8 = 480

Divide each side by 8

(4x+12) *8/8 = 480/8

4x+12 = 60

Subtract 12 from each side

4x+12 -12 = 60-12

4x = 48

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

each side of the smaller triangle, we can multiply by 4 to get the side of the larger triangle

ex: 8*4=32 and 17*4=68

so we can assume that 15*4= 4x+12

60=4x+12

48=4x

x=12

Question 1 - You need to split the L shape into  2 shapes.

6mm x 2mm = 12mm

and

5mm x 2mm = 10mm

add 12mm and 10mm 
the area is 22mm squared (a little 2 above the mm)

question 2 - you need to do the same

4mm x 2mm = 8mm squared 
7mm x 2mm = 14mm squared
area - 22mm squared

7. For the equation y = -1/4X 8 state<br> the slope and the y-intercept.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

slope = -1/4

y-intercept = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = -1/4 x + 8

The slope is -1/4 and the y-intercept is 8.

Linear equations are written like "y=mx + b"

"m" stands for slope.

"b" stands for y-intercept.
