Answer:
8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
x is similar to the side 12cm.
We know the second triangle is rotated counter-clockwise from the first because similar triangles have the same angle measurements.
Since the angle in the first triangle between 9cm and 15cm is 53°, it can't be similar to the angle between x and the hypotenuse in the second triangle.
Find the scale factor:
Triangle 1/Triangle 2
Divide two similar sides.
6/9 = 2/3
Multiply the scale factor by the similar side to find x.
x = 12*(2/3)
x = 8
(x-9)(x+7)=0
x-9=0 or x+7=0
x=9 or x=-7
:)
-14a-5=-12
+5 +5
-14a=-7
Divide -7 by -14a
a=2
Answer:
no, they are equal. we know this because when reducing both they are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
first find the least common denominator
that's 3
reduce fractions until the denominator is both 3
we get 2/3 and 2/3. the proportions are equal.
