Answer:

Ratio: 3:2

LN = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

"similar" means that all the angles are the same and the sides were all increased by the same proportion.

Thus, we know that MN/YZ = LM/XY = NL/ZX

First, we need to find the ratio. To do this, we write MN/YZ as a fraction, and simplify.

MN/YZ = 15/10 = 3/2

(If you want, you can double check this using LM nd XY. 8 * 3/2 = 12, so this is correct)

To find the missing side, we simply multiply XZ by 3/2.

12 * 3/2 = 18, so LN = 18.

If you travel 4 miles around a circle with a radius of 1 mile, what is the central angle (q)?
mixer [17]

Answer:

229.18 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle with radius r is 2×pi×r.

So if it has a radius of 1 mile, then the circumference is 2×pi×1=2pi miles.

So if we travel 4 miles, then the percentage of this circle we traveled is 4/(2pi)=63.66% approximately.

There are 360 degrees in a circle and we want to how much of that rotation belongs to traveling 4 miles of the circumference of a circle that measures 2pi miles. So 63.66%×360 degrees =229.18 degrees.

Basile [38]
18/4 = 4.5
4.5 * 22 = 99
No, you will not be able to reach your destination because you can travel a maximum of 99 miles before you run out of gas, and 99<110
