Break it down
"15 less than " means -15
"a number" means unknown or placeholder means x
"is equal to" means '='
'12' means 12
-15+x=12
add 15
x=27
73 cm, the perimeter is all side totals, to to find each side length you just have to divide by 4 since all the sides of a square are the same
#5)
14/4 = 3.5
24.5 / 7 = 3.5
The pair is similar and SF = 3.5
#6)
10/4 = 2.5
21/9 = 2.3333
The pair is not similar because the corresponding sides are not proportional.
A. ) Addition Property is the answer
Answer:
<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We have:
AC = 1 + 4 = 5
AJ = 1
AB = 1 + x
AK = 1
Substitute:
<em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>
2.
ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We hve:
VU = x + 8
VM = x
VT = 49
VN = 49 - 14 = 35
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>
<em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 14</em>
