<h3>
Answer: 10 cm (choice A)</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
One equation we could solve is
x/2.5 = 30/7.5
Note the x/2.5 has us dividing the vertical sides, while 30/7.5 is the same idea for the horizontal sides. The order is large over small. You could do small over large, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.
Solving for x leads to...
x/2.5 = 30/7.5
x*7.5 = 2.5*30
7.5x = 75
x = 75/7.5
x = 10 (choice A)
There are many other possible equations that lead to the same answer. One other possible equation is x/30 = 2.5/7.5
These proportions are possible due to the fact we have similar triangles.
No because the scale factor is inconsistent while it would be neccecary to be consistent if it was similar. 19.9/15.3=1.3 while 29/25=1.16 which proves that they have an inconsistent scale factor.
At 5 miles because when we multiply each 7000 and 5000 by 5 we get 35000
The supplementary angle would be 67.5 degrees, so that the two angles equal a combined 180 degrees.
3/5 + 1/2
= 6/10 + 5/10
= 11/10
= 1.1 so the answer is 1.1
