Find the unknown lengths in the pair of similar triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
777dan777 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a = 3

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are always equal. Therefore,

9/a = 18/6 = 6/b

✔️Let's solve for a:

9/a = 18/6

9/a = 3

Cross multiply

a*3 = 9

Divide both sides by 3

a = 9/3

a = 3

✔️Let's find b:

18/6 = 6/b

3 = 6/b

3*b = 6

b = 6/3

b = 2

A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount
kakasveta [241]
$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)
