The polygons are similar. Find the value of x and y.

Mathematics
1 answer:
harina [27]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 9, y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{x-1}{6} = \frac{16}{12} ( cross- multiply )

12(x - 1) = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x - 1 = 8 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 9

Also

\frac{y+1}{21} = \frac{16}{12} ( cross- multiply )

12(y + 1) = 336 ( divide both sides by 12 )

y + 1 = 28 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

y = 27

I don't understand the substitution method?
liq [111]
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5
