Devon made a scale drawing of a triangle. he used a scale factor 1/4 to draw the new triangle. how does each side of the new triangle compare to the original?

The sides of the new triangle compared to the original are 4 times smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x----> the corresponding side of new triangle

y----> the corresponding side of the original triangle

we have

substitute

therefore

The sides of the new triangle compared to the original are 4 times smaller.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
