Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
These triangles are similar triangles, so there is a number that you can multiply the sides of TUV to find the side lengths of QRS. looking at the triangle, the similar sides are RS being similar to UV and RQ being similar to UT.
If RS~UV, then there is a ratio between them. 54/36=1.5. The ratio is 1.5.
RQ~UT, and by a factor of 1.5, so divide RQ by the scale factor. 24/1.5=16. UT=16=x+5.
x+5=16, subtract 5 from both sides.
x=11
Ordered pairs that work for this direct variation are (4, 3), (8, 6) and (12, 9).
In order to find these, we must first find the value of the direct variation coefficient. We can do that using the base equation y = kx and then by plugging in to find k.
y = kx
12 = k(16)
3/4 = k
Now that we have k, we can model the equation as y = 3/4x. We can also find any number of ordered pairs by using the x value and finding the y value. All of the above answers work.

Answer:
The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.
x + (x + 7.5) = 13
2x + 7.5 = 13
2x = 5.5
x = 2.75
Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.
2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25
