At an italian bistro, the cost of 2 plates of spaghetti and 1 salad is $27.50. the cost for 4 plates of spaghetti and 3 salads is $59.50. write and solve a system of equations to find the cost of 1 plate of spaghetti and 1 salad.

this was already solved by me with a different person. if you look it up in the search bar at the top of the page, you will get the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

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.
