The two triangles we can see in the diagram are similar, which means that their measurements are proportional. Line MN on the larger triangle MNP is 71.5ft long, and its corresponding line, MA, on the smaller triangle is 71.5-22= 49.5ft long. This means that the scale factor from the bigger to the smaller triangle is 71.5/49.5=13/9.
If line MP on the bigger rectangle is 97.5ft long, then its corresponding line, MB, must be 97.5÷13/9=67.5 ft long.
Therefore, x=67.5 ft
Since the shirt is 25 percent off your paying for 75 percent of the shirt. 0.75(36) is 27. The shirt will cost 27.00
The value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2 is -2
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that line is passing through point (-5, 2) and (3, r)
Slope of the line is 
Need to determine value of r.
Slope of a line passing through point 
is given by following formula:
--- eqn 1
On substituting the given value in (1) we get
Hence the value of "r" is -2
