Answer the following. a) Find h b) Find x

a) h = 15

b) x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) set up a proportion:

  5 = h

   8     24

cross-multiply:

8h = 120

h = 15

b) x + 5 = x + 5 + 15

   5x + 1    5x + 1 + 35

cross-multiply:

(x + 5)(5x + 36) = (5x + 1)(x + 20)

5 + 61x + 180 = 5 + 101x + 20

180 = 40x + 20

160 = 40x

x = 4

2

step-by-step explanation:

1+1=2

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
