Toby goes on holiday to Geneva, Switzerland.
In Geneva, Toby sees a watch costing 193.75 CHF (Swiss Francs).
In Manchester, an identical watch costs £145.
Given that £1 = 1.55 CHF
a) In which city is the watch cheaper? Geneva, switzerland
b) By how much is it cheaper (in £)?

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

8

step-by-step explanation:

( - 4 , -7 )

all the lines must parallel  

step-by-step explanation:

coordinates of c = ( - 1 , 2 )

3 units left = ( -4 , 2 )

9 units down = ( - 4 , 11 )
