I think the answer is P=3
Answer:
8.
10x-1=14x-37[corresponding side of congruent triangle are equal]
37-1=14x-10x
36=4x
x=36/4
x=9
9.
6x+13=16x-7[corresponding angle of congruent triangle are equal]
13+7=16x-6x
10x=20
x=20/10
x=2
10.
8x-27=4x+33
8x-4x=33+27
4x=60
x=60/4
x=15
PQ=8×15-27=93
11.3x+5=12x-13
13+5=12x-3x
9x=18
x=18/9=2
now
<BDC=12×2-13=11
12.
5x-8=9x-28
28-8=9x-5x
4x=20
x=20/4
x=5
now
<YWX=5x-8+9x-28=5×5-8+9×5-28=34
13..5x-4=2x+5
5x-2x=5+4
3x=9
x=9/3=3
now
ML=5×3-4=11
ML=11
You turn 85% into a decimal
then multiply the decimal by the main number.
420x.85=357.
so 85% of 420 is 357
This is the concept of scale factors, if figure 1 was dilated to figure 2 the scale factor was given by;
scale factor=[length of figure 2]/[length of figure 1]
length of figure 1=18
length of figure 2 =3
thus;
The scale factor of the dilation will be:
3/18
=1/6
