Answer:
I am having a hard time reading the letters, so I hope this makes sense. I think that the numbers for the top triangles is given is 6 and 3. That means that the scale factor from the little to the big is 2 and from the big to the little is 1/2. It is the same for the bottom triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangles are similar the scale factors will be the same for all three corresponding sides of the triangle. You find the two sides that are corresponding and ask yourself what do I have to multiple the side of of triangle to get the new triangle.
If one side is 3 and the other triangles side is 6. I am asking myself what do I have to multiple 3 by to get 6? 2. That is my scale factor.
3x = 6
x = 2
The scale factors are always reciprocals of each other. If I go the other direction I can write the equation
6x = 3 and when I divide both sides by 6, I get a scale factor of 1/2.
The bottom triangles:
2.5 x = 5
x = 2
and
5x = 2.5
x =1/2
9/10 is equivalent to 90/100 and the answer under mine or above or the other answer should be reported. They got points for a question they did not answer correctly.
Answer:
12,741.66666
Step-by-step explanation:
12750 - 25/3%
= 12,741.66666
47 -14i
You can work this out in the straight-forward way, or you can recognize that (6-i) is a common factor. In the latter case, you have ...
... = (6-i)(5 + 3-i)
... = (6 -i)(8 -i)
This product of binomials is found in the usual way. Each term of one factor is multiplied by each term of the other factor and the results summed. Of course, i = √-1, so i² = -1.
... = 6·8 -6i -8i +i²
... = 48 -14i -1
... =
