The answer to your question is x=3y-4
X = the brother
c = carly
c = 3x
c + x < = 24
now we sub
3x + x < = 24
4x < = 24
x < = 24/4
x < = 6 ...oldest age the brother can be is 6
Answer:
<em>Similarity doesn't changes angle measures</em>
- ∠U = 56°, ∠U' = 3x - 16
- ∠U = ∠U'
a) 3x - 16 = 56 ⇒ 3x = 72 ⇒ x = 24°
b) ∠T = x + 46 = 24 + 46 = 70°
c) <u>Scale factor:</u>
- k = S'T'/ST = 19/57 = 1/3
<u>Find y using known sides and scale factor:</u>
- U'V'/UV = 1/3
- (y + 4)/63 = 1/3
- y + 4 = 21
- y = 21 - 4
- y = 17
If your only solving for the perimeter, then the answer is 18yd.
