Even though we are using variables, we still know that "difference" means subtraction. So, if the larger is x1 and x2, those variables go first. The smaller, y1 and y2 will go second. So our problem will look like this:
(x1 < x2 ? x2 : x1) - (y1 < y2 ? y1 : y2)
So that is what we call a ratio and it looks like this
Answer:
<em>a </em>- 13
Step-by-step explanation:
a- 13 because you are taking 13 away from a
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the two polygons are similar, one property of similar polygons is that if one were to multiply each side length by a certain number (referred to as the ratio of similitude), they would get the side length of the corresponding side on the other polygon. To find the ratio one has to divide the side length of one polygon by its corresponding side length in the other polygon.
30 ÷ 25 = 1.2
Set up an equation by multiplying one side length by the ratio of similitude, set it equal to its corresponding side length in the other polygon;
1.2 (35) = 4x + 10
Simplify,
42 = 4x + 10
Inverse operations,
42 = 4x + 10
32 = 4x
8 = x
