If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of a side-length of one of them
to the length of the corresponding side of the other one is the same number
for every pair of sides. All you need to do is find one pair of corresponding
sides, then find the ratio of their lengths, and there's your scale factor.
Set the angles equal to 180
x + 2x + 3x = 180
6x = 180
Solve for x
6x = 180
x = 30
Plug that into angle C
2(30) = 60
Angle C is 60 degrees
Answer:
x = $3.50; y = $2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, come up with your two equations where x= price of walnuts and y= price of chocolate chips: 8x + 4y = 37 and 3x + 2y = 15. Solve the first equation.
3x + 2y = 15
3x = 15 - 2y
x = (15 - 2y)/3
Plug in the answer to your second equation.
8(15 - 2y)/3 + 4y = 37
(120 - 16y)/3 + 4y = 37
120 - 16y + 12y = 111
120 - 4y = 111
-4y = -9
y = 2.25
Plug in your answer to find <em>x.</em>
3x + 2(2.25) = 15
3x + 4.5 = 15
3x = 10.5
x = 3.5
Check your equation.
1) 3(3.5) + 2(2.25) = 15
10.5 + 4.5 = 15
15 = 15
2) 8(3.5) + 4(2.25) = 37
28 + 9 = 37
37 = 37
It can be expressed by 4(3)+4(9) you take the digit outside of the bracket and multiple by each individual digit inside the bracket.
