feet long. use an estimation strategy to determine who has the most string. choose the name and number to complete the statement.

is estimated to have more feet of string.

So to estimate, I would look at each set of numbers and determine which ones have higher numbers. For example in the first set the highest I see is 12x5=60

In the second set I see 14 AND 16 automatic telling me to estimate that Destiny has more using 14x4=56, but keeping in mind there is a 16 as well...

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
