To solve this problem, all we need to do is just set up a proportion. The two shapes are similar, which means that they are the same shape, but different sizes. Using the wording/letter arrangement in the problem, we can figure out which side of one triangle corresponds to which side of the other triangle.
Triangle LMV (with segments LM, MV, and VL) is similar to triangle UTK (with segments UT, TK, and KU).
Corresponding pairs:
LM(x) : UT(39)
MV(30) : TK(65)
VL : KU
However, we need only be interested in the first two pairs. Here is the proportion with letters:
LM / UT = MV / TK
and as numbers:
x / 39 = 30 / 65
Solve for x:
x / 39 = 30 / 65
Cross multiply:
(x)(65) = (39)(30)
Simplify:
65x = 1170
Divide:
65x/65 = 1170 / 65
Simplify:
x = 18
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The length of side LM (x) in triangle LMV is 18 units.

Part B:


and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
The inicial concentration of the lemonade is 50%, and the volume is 4 quarts, and we will add x quarts of a lemonade with a concentration of 100%, so the total volume will be y, and the concentration will be 0.7, so we have that:


Using the value of y from the first equation in the second one, we have:





Part B:
If he shoots a total of ten targets, we can write the equation:

Each stationary target is 2 points, and each moving target is 3 points, so if the total points is 23, we have:

If we subtract the second equation by two times the first one, we have:

Answer:
X=84
Step-by-step explanation:
180(the sum of the interior triangle angles) - [(180-130)+(180-134)]
Answer:
d. The common ratio is 1.1
Step-by-step explanation:
To see if the data has a common ratio or common difference, we have to see if the division between them is equal(common ratio), or if the difference between them is equal(common difference).
In this case, since
, it has a common ratio.
To find it, we divide consecutive terms. For example:

So the correct answer is:
d. The common ratio is 1.1
