"c" is the hypotenuse of the largest triangle, and "a" is that triangle's shortest side. Thus the ratio is
... (longest side)/(shortest side)
Since all the triangles in the figure are similar, to complete the proportion, you need to recognize the triangle that "a" is the longest side of, then find the shortest side of that triangle.
"a" is the longest side (hypotenuse) of the smallest triangle. The shortest side of that triangle is "r". So, your proportion is ...
... c/a = a/r
The appropriate choice is the 2nd one, ...
... r
Answer:
the slope would be -1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14) x = 30°
15) x = 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
14) 60 + x = 90
x = 90 - 60
x = 30°
15) 130 + x = 180
x = 180 - 130
x = 50°
Hope this helps
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Require
Solving (a):

Subtract 24 from both sides


Divide both sides by 2



Solving (b):
Substitute 330 for P un the expression in (1)

Evaluate the bracket


<em>Question c; seem irrelevant</em>
3:5 ratio mean there are 8 "parts" (3 + 5 = 8)
The distance between the x-coordinates is |-3 - 5| = 8.
So each "part" is 8/8 = 1 unit long in the x-direction.
You want I to be 3(1) = 3 units from D, so the x-coordinate of I is -3 + 3 = 0.
Same deal for y.
|2 - 5| = 3 is the distance between D and E
Each part is 3/8.
3(3/8) = 9/8
2 + 9/8 = 25/8
So the point I is (0, 25/8)
