Similar figures are the same shape but not the same size. you can find out the scale by using parallel lines.

Answer:

*You could just look it up.

Here's what I found on google:

Two figures are said to be similar if they are the same shape. In more mathematical language, two figures are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent, and the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. This common ratio is called the scale factor.

So basically, similar figures are 2 figures that are the same shape.

They don't have to be the same size.

This is because 15 is the smallest, which is half of 4(30). And right between 15 and 30 is 7.5.

Hope this helps

Answer:

65 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

There were a total of 7 hours. So two hours were at 70 and the other 5 hours at 63: the equation would be: (70+70+63+63+63+63+63)/7=65

7. Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

morpeh [17]

Hey there!

Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

Answer :

x = -4 or x = 2 ✅

Explanation :

Quadratic formula : ax² + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0

The number of real-number solutions (roots) is determined by the discriminant (b² - 4ac) :

If b² - 4ac > 0 , There are 2 real-number solutions

If b² - 4ac = 0 , There is 1 real-number solution.

If b² - 4ac < 0 , There is no real-number solution.

The roots of the equation are determined by the following calculation:

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

Here, we have :

a = 1
b = 2
c = -8

1) Calculate the discriminant :

b² - 4ac ⇔ 2² - 4(1)(-8) ⇔ 4 - (-32) ⇔ 36

b² - 4ac = 36 > 0 ; The equation admits two real-number solutions

2) Calculate the roots of the equation:

▪️ (1)

$x_1 = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - \sqrt{36} }{2(1) } \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - 6}{2} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 8}{2} \\ \\ \blue{\boxed{\red{x_1 = -4}}}$

▪️ (2)

$x_2 = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + \sqrt{36} }{2(1)} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + 6}{2} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{4}{2} \\ \\ \red{\boxed{\blue{x_2 = 2}}}$

>> Therefore, your answers are x = -4 or x = 2.
