Answer:
A = (cost per cup of coffee * number of cups) + balance
$15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Cost per cup of coffee = $1.50
Number of cups purchased = 4
Balance on card = $9
Let A = worth of gift card
A = (cost per cup of coffee * number of cups) + balance
A = (1.50 * 4) + 9
A = 6 + 9
A = $15
Answer:
Yes, the shapes are similar. Note, the angles are equivalent and the sides are scales of each other satisfying the requirements for similarly.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a shape to be similar there are two conditions that must be met. (1) Must have equivalent angles (2) Sides must be related by a scalar.
In the two triangles presented, the first condition is met since each triangle has three angles, 90-53-37.
To test if the sides are scalar, each side must be related to a corresponding side of the other triangle with the same scalar.
9/6 = 3/2
12/8 = 3/2
15/10 = 3/2
Alternatively:
6/9 = 2/3
8/12 = 2/3
10/15 = 2/3
Since the relationship of the sides is the scalar 3/2 (Alternatively 2/3), then we can say the triangles meet the second condition.
Given that both conditions are satisfied, then we can say these triangles are similar.
Note, this is a "special case" right triangle commonly referred to as a 3-4-5 right triangle.
Cheers.
Step one:
ALWAYS set equation equal to zero, which in this case has already been done for us.
Step two:
Figure out what formula you need to use in order to solve in this case I'd use the Quadratic formula.
a=1
b=9
c=2
Quadratic formula:

Then you would plug in the information.

The solve for what is underneath the square root ONLY.

Since you cannot solve this any further, your final two answers are...
