Answer:

Yes, the triangles are similar by SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the picture, we see that there are two triangles with side lengths of different sides. We can deduce that the scale factor is 1 2/3, because 8 divided by 4.8 is 1 2/3, and 10 divided by 6 is the same. Now that we have clarified that the triangles share the same scale factor, we notice that the angle is also the same, as mentioned in the picture. This leads us to say that the triangles are similar by the SAS similarity theorem (Side, Angle, Side). I hope this helped and please don't hesitate to reach out with more questions!

Answer:

$\large\boxed{A=153\ cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Look at the picture.</em>

We have

square with side length a = 9

trapezoid with base lengths b₁ = 9 and b₂ = 6 and the height length h = 6

right triangle with legs lengths l₁ = 3 + 6 = 9 and l₂ = 6

The formula of an area of a square

$A=a^2$

Substitute:

$A_I=9^2=81\ cm^2$

The formula of an area of a trapezoid:

$A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h$

Substitute:

$A_{II}=\dfrac{9+6}{2}\cdot6=\dfrac{15}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot6\!\!\!\!\diagup^3=(15)(3)=45\ cm^2$

The formula of an area of a right triangle:

$A=\dfrac{l_1l_2}{2}$

Substitute:

$A_{III}=\dfrac{(9)(6)}{2}=\dfrac{54}{2}=27\ cm^2$

The area of the shape:

$A=A_I+A_{II}+A_{III}\\\\A=81+45+27=153\ cm^2$

Jace is a songwriter who collects royalties in his songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Jace will earn $50

VashaNatasha [74]

Jace's song were played on 8 commercials and 2 movies

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

<em>Elimination Method</em>
<em>Substitution Method</em>
<em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

<em>Number of Commercials = C</em>

<em>Number of Movies = M</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jaces songs were played on 6 more commercials than movies.</em>

$\boxed{C = 6 + M}$ → <em>Equation 1</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jace will earn $50 every time one of his songs is played in a commercial and he will earn $140 every time one of his songs is played in a movie.</em>

<em>His total earnings in the royalties from all commercials and movies was $680.</em>

$\boxed{50C + 140M = 680}$ → <em>Equation 2</em>
