Hi!
The answer is one
When you solve this system of equations you get an answer for y and an answer for x.
It looks kinda like this: x=3, y=-4
Thus, your answer is one solution
I hope this helps!
Feel free to give brainliest if you think I deserve it!
If two triangles are similar, then their side lengths are proportional.
RS / JK = RT / JL
5 / x = 4 / 7
4x = 35
x = 35/4 = 8.75
RT / JL = TS / LK
4 / 7 = 6 / (y + 2)
42 = 4(y + 2)
42 = 4y + 4
4y = 38
y = 38/4 = 9.5
LK = 9.5 + 2 = 11.5 cm
JK = x = 8.75
Hope this helps!
Answer:
36 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of proportionality between the two similar triangles is 1:6, which you can find by dividing the corresponding side length measures from each triangle (3/18 = 4/24). Then you can set up a proportion:
1/6 = 6/x, which you can solve to get x = 36
