Step-by-step explanation:
Q3.
If ΔGHI and ΔJKL are similar, then the sides are in proportion:
We have
JL = x, GI = 9 ft, LK = 24 ft, IH = 12 ft.
Substitute:
<em> multiply both sides by 2</em>
Q4.
We must multiply the original length by a scale factor of 3/4:
Answer:
26 miles away
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Drawing out a picture would help you here. I drew one out so you can see how I got started.
2. Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x (total distance from starting point).
10^2 + 24^2 = x^2
100 + 576 = x^2
676 = x^2
[Take the square root of both sides]
x = 26 miles
I hope this helps!
