Answer:

if they are similar then their sides are proportional and the following would be true:  

40/30 = 48/36  

reduce both sides:  

4/3 = 4/3

Alvin is 7 years older than Elga. The sum of their ages is 97. What is Elga's age?
LenaWriter [7]

Elga's age = x

Alvin's age = x + 7

x + x + 7 = 97.

Simplify the left side of the equation

2x + 7 = 97.

Subtract 7 from each side

2x = 90.

Divide each side by 2

x = 45

Since x is equal to Elga's age, Elga is 45 years old

The endpoints of one diagonal of a rhombus are (0, -8) and (8, -4). If the coordinates of the 3 rd vertex are (1, 0), what are t
atroni [7]
You can answer this problem using the midpoint formula, but we can work out the 4th vertex by just logically thinking it through by first drawing out the rhombus on an x-y coordinate plane.  I wrote the answer out on paper since it is easier than typing.  Let me know if you have any questions.
