Answer:
g=56
Step-by-step explanation:
In similar shapes, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.
For example,
if the sides in triangle 1 were a and b, and triangle 2 had side lengths c and d, c and a had the same ratios, and b and d had the same ratios
and triangle 1 was similar to triangle 2, the ratio between the sides of the triangles would be
a/c, which is also equal to b/d
What that means is that in this situation, 8/5=g/35.
8/5=g/35
Cross multiply.
(8)*(35)=g*(5)
280=5g
g=56
A is the correct choice.
This is based on the vertical line test. If you were to draw an imaginary vertical line on the graph, it would only intersect the graph at one point, which proves that all x values are different (a function).
Answer:Alden is 13 years old
Step-by-step explanation
Let x represent Alden's age.
Let y represent the age of his sister.
Let z represent the age of his second sister.
His sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. This means that
y = x + 5
y = 3z
Alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. It means that his brother's age is
z - 4
His brother is 2. It means that
z - 4 = 2
z = 2 + 4 = 6
y = 3z
y = 3 × 6 = 18
Substituting y = 18 into y = x + 5, it becomes
18 = x + 5
x = 18 - 5 = 13
Yes that is true if you think of it as a point and the lines extending in both directions.
