Answer:

2.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

that means two lengths of the triangle have to be multiplied.

and to have 2 similar triangles means that all lengths inside one triangle are the corresponding lengths inside the other triangle multiplied by the scaling factor f.

multiplying 2 if these lengths with each other means also including the square of the scaling factor (multiplying with the scaling factor twice).

so, if the area of triangle 1 is

"baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2 = 45 cm²

then the area of triangle 2 is

"baseline 2" × "height 2" / 2 =

= "baseline 1"×f × "height 1"×f /2 =

= "baseline 1" × "height 1" × f² / 2 =

= ("baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2) × f² =

= 45 × f² = 20 cm²

f² = 20/45 = 4/9

f = 2/3

so, for a side of ABC being 3.6cm long, that means the corresponding side in DEF is

3.6 × f = 3.6 × 2/3 = 7.2/3 = 2.4cm

If (x) =7-3x, determine the value of x when f(x)=16.
melomori [17]

Answer:

f=16/7.3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve for f:

f(7.3)=16

Step 1:Divide both sides by 7.3x

7.3f/7.3x=16/17.3x

f=16/7.3x

Write the equation of the line that passes through points (-7,8) and (4,-5)
Alex

Answer:

y=-3/11x+67/11

Step-by-step explanation:

y-8=-5-8/4--7(x--7)

y-8=-3/11(x+7)

11y-88=-3x-21

11y=-3x-21+88

11y=-3x+67

y=-3/11x+67/11
