Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12
I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?
Answer:
She has 42 pieces of wood each of 1 inch of length.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy has 42 inches piece of wood.
She has to cut an inch.
After cutting pieces of inch each she counts the pieces to be 42.
Mathematically
Total length / unit lenght = Number of pieces
42 inches/ 1 inch= 42 pieces.
She has 42 pieces of wood each of 1 inch of length.
10% off
= $4.80
30% off
= $4.80 x 3
= $14.40
$48 + $14.40
= $62.40
The original price was $62.40
