Answer:

y = 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 triangles are similar ( by AA postulate ) , then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

$\frac{y}{6}$ = $\frac{15}{10}$ = 1.5 ( multiply both sides by 6 )

y = 6 × 1.5 = 9 cm

The value of y from the diagram is 9

<h3>Similar shapes</h3>

From the given figure, the shapes are similar, using the similarity theorem of triangles, you ill have;

6/10 = y/15

Cross multiply

10y = 15* 10

10y = 90

y = 90/10

y = 9

Hence the value of y from the diagram is 9

The perimeter of a rectangle is 102 inches. The length is 5 inches greater than the width.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

w = 23

l = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

w = width

l = w+5

P = 2 (l+w)

102 = 2( w+5+w)

102 = 2(2w+5)

Divide each side by 2

51 = 2w+5

Subtract 5

46 = 2w

Divide by 2

23 = w

The width is 23 and the length is 23+5 = 28

You usually buy a 16.5-ounce bottle of shampoo. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 30% more free.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30$

Hopefully, this is your desired setup. (I noticed the formula you have to fill in there.)

Have a good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.

You could use the percent change formula.

Since we know it is a percent increase then we will do new-old instead of old-new:

$\frac{\text{new}-\text{old}}{\old}$

x is the new amount of shampoo.

16.5 is the original amount (old) of shampoo.

The percent increase is 30%=0.30 .

So we have the following equation:

$\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30$

We could have found the equation like this:

$16.5+16.5(0.30)=x$

Subtract 16.5 on both sides:

$16.5(0.30)=x-16.5$

Divide both sides by 16.5:

$0.30=\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}$

By us of symmetric property of equality:

$\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30$
