Answer:
x = 48 and y = 104
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are:
From equation 1:
Putting the value of y in equation 2
Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x
Putting y = 104 in the first equation
Hence,
The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104
The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.
The triangles that are similar would be ΔGCB and ΔPEB due to Angle, Angle, Angle similarity theorem.
<h3>How to identify similar triangles?</h3>From the image attached, we see that we are given the Parallelogram GRPC. Thus;
A. The triangles that are similar would be ΔGCB and ΔPEB due to Angle, Angle, Angle similarity theorem.
B. The proof of the fact that ΔGCB and ΔPEB are similar pairs of triangles is as follow;
∠CGB ≅ ∠PEB (Alternate Interior Angles)
∠BPE ≅ ∠BCG (Alternate Interior Angles)
∠GBC ≅ ∠EBP (Vertical Angles)
C. To find the distance from B to E and from P to E, we will first find PE and then BE by proportion;
225/325 = PE/375
PE = 260 ft
BE/425 = 225/325
BE = 294 ft
