1. the county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 at the fair. jermaine spent his money only on ride tickets and fair admission. the price of the fair admission is the same for everyone. use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets.
(a) write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission.
(b) define your variables.
(c) explain your answer to part 1a.

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.

the answer is c: divide the arc's degree measure by 360°, then multiply by the circumference of the circle.
