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.

An item costs $45.60. If there is a 30% discount on the item, what is the discounted cost of the item?
kondor19780726 [428]
Discounted Cost= Cost of Item - (Cost of Item * % Discount)


= $45.60 - ($45.60 * 30%)
convert % to decimal (30% ÷ 100)

= 45.60 - (45.60 * 0.30)
multiply in parentheses

= 45.60 - 13.68

= $31.92 discounted cost


ANSWER: The discounted cost of the item is $31.92 (savings of $13.68).

Hope this helps!  :)

Answer:

(c-a, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal space between (c, b) and P is the same as the space between (a, b) and O.

Coordinates are written (x, y), where x is for horizontal space.

P is on the x-axis, making the y-coordinate 0.

(a+c, 0) would be to the right of the entire parallelogram.

(c, 0) would be directly below (c, b).

(a-c, 0) would be to the left of the entire parallelogram and in the other quadrant.

Wouldn’t it be the 3rd answer 1/3 + 1/4 because you have to convert the dominators into 12 then you will get 4/12 and 3/12 then
