Answer:

  FH = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔGHE is a 5-12-13 triangle.

ΔEHF is a 3-4-5 triangle with a scale factor of 4, so side FH is 4·4 = 16 units.

_____

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17) are all commonly used Pythagorean triples. The first two on the list are used in these triangles.

If you like, you can work out the numbers using the Pythagorean theorem, which tells you the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

For ΔEHG, that is ...

  GE² = EH² + HG²

  13² = EH² + 5²

  EH² = 13² -5² = 169 -25 = 144

And for ΔEHF, ...

  FE² = EH² +HF²

  20² = 144 + HF²

  400 -144 = HF² = 256

  HF = √256 = 16

The length of side FH is 16 units.

Charra [1.4K]

The statement that explains how the company can determine whether pool LMNO is similar to pool PQRS is;

B. Translate PQRS so that point Q of PQRS lies on point M of LMNO, then dilate PQRS by the ratio segment PQ over segment LM.

<h3>How to carry out Transformations?</h3>

Given that quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH are similar:

The corresponding points on the quadrilaterals are:

P → L

Q → M

R → N

S → O

So, the first step is any of the following:

Translate point P to L

Translate point Q to M

Translate point R to N

Translate point S to O

Notice that the side lengths of PQRS are bigger than that of LMNO

This means that the Quadrilateral PQRS has to be dilated (compressed) by a ratio of side lengths of LMNO divided by side lengths of PQRS

For example, the point M is translated to point Q. The figure will then be dilated by a ratio of LM divided by PQ.

Pablo's Gourmet Pretzel Shop specializes in selling the very finest chocolate covered pretzels. Rico bought 4 white chocolate pr
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one white chocolate pretzel.

Let y represent the cost of one dark chocolate pretzel.

Rico bought 4 white chocolate pretzels and 6 dark chocolate pretzels for $10.50. This means that

4x + 6y = 10.5 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Holden bought 8 white chocolate and 3 dark chocolate pretzels for $9.75. This means that

8x + 3y = 9.75 - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes

32x + 48y = 84

32x + 12y = 39

Subtracting, it becomes

36y = 45

y = 45/36 = $1.25

Substituting y = 1.25 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 6 × 1.25 = 10.5

4x + 7.5 = 10.5

4x = 10.5 - 7.5 = 3

x = 3/4 = $0.75

the total cost for 6 white chocolate pretzels and one dark chocolate pretzel would be

6 × 0.75 + 1 × 1.25 = 4.5 + 1.25 = $5.75

-3/5x - 7/20x + 1/4x= -56
romanna [79]

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine − 3/5x and 7/20x to get -19/20x.

Then combine -19/20x and 1/4x and you get -7/10x.

Then you multiply both sides by -10/7 which is the reciprocal of -7/10.

Make -56(-10) one fraction.

Multiply -56 and -10 and you get 560.

Then divide 560 by 7 to get 80.
