Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So since triangle jkl and wyz are similar angles j and w must equal each other, angles k and y must equal each other, and angles l and z are equal. So to find x just set 4x-13 equal to 71
4x-13=71
add 13 to both sides to cancel the -13 from the left
4x=84
and divide both sides by 4 to cancel the 4 on the left
x=21
distance = rate * time
2.56 meters = 2meter/min * t
divide by 2 on each side
2.56/2 =t
1.28 minutes =t
If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)
a²+b²=c²
12²+b²=15²
144+b²=225
b²=81
√b²=√81
b=9
Answer:
• The function is a linear function
• The function changes at a constant rate
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph of the function shows it to be a straight line (linear function). Such a function always changes at a constant rate. The line goes downward to the right, so the function is a decreasing function.
___
"changes at a constant rate" and "linear function" are two different ways of saying the same thing: the graph of the function is a straight line.
