Answer:
j=3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the two triangles are similar, we can set up a ratio
1in:3in
j:9in
Now we solve for j
Since the length of the side of the shorter triangle is 1/3 the length of the side of the longer triangle (as shown by the ratio 1:3 which can also be written as 1/3), we can multiply 9 by 1/3. This gives us 3.
So j=3 inches
It is the longest side
it is opposite the right angle
Answer:
-15/2 (or -7 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
-7.5 is equal to -75/10.
When you simplify it, you get:
-15/2 which simplifies to -7 1/2
let's first off convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions, then get their difference.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 10+1}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{21}{10}-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(1)21-(5)3}{10}}\implies \cfrac{21-15}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B1%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%5Ccdot%202%2B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%7D~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B2%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B10%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%5Ccdot%2010%2B1%7D%7B10%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B21%7D%7B10%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B21%7D%7B10%7D-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Busing%20the%20LCD%20of%2010%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B%281%2921-%285%293%7D%7B10%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B21-15%7D%7B10%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B6%7D%7B10%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B5%7D)
