9. The pair of figures is similar. Find x. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

A. 0.9 ft

B. 4.5 ft

C. 0.1 ft

D. 4 ft

the answer is 4.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two fugures in the question above are similar, it means they have the same shape, even though they are if different sizes, the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional. Thus,

18/x = 8/2

Let's solve for x as required.

We have,

18/x = 8/2

=>Cross multiply:

18 × 2 = 8 × x

36 = 8x

=>Divide both sides by 8

36/8 = x

4.5 = x

x = 4.5 ft

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
