@BSwan @ikatouni @JayBaybie @jessicaman2 @joshhfers @kirbykirby @mechanicalanimal_ @shamim @texaschic101 @thushananth01 @WinryRockbell
is number 4 B
how it's 20...? can you explain this...?
ummmmmm ?
yeah...
can you help me
i don't know about this question.... i am serious....?
what
i am saying to explain this answer to us...
@hartnn @beccaboo333 @mathmale @mathmate
the sign ~ means the two quadrilaterals are similar.
OK
you're wanting the answer to number 4, right?
yea
Can you solve 3:9 = 5:?
okay, well they're parallelograms. you can see that side OP is 3, and side UV is 9. this means that the sides of the rectangle STUV are equal to the sides of rectangle MNOP multiplied by 3.
side SV and TU are 15.
i never did that @mathmate
Proportions. Sometimes it's written as: x/5=9/3
3
Well, 3/5 does not equal 9/3. By cross multiplying, we get 3x=9*5, and eventually x=9*5/3=15, as mech had it.
@mathmate explained it really well. it's a really simple thing, you're just getting confused. lol
i dont nothing that you just said i have not learned that yet it looks hard
just look at the two parallelograms. it's obvious that rectangle STUV is three times as big as MNOP. so just multiply the sides of MNOP by 3 to get the sides of STUV.
5 * 3 = 15. TU = 15. the answer is c.
y did i get 27 from M3* N3 *O3 *P3= 27
because you're not multiplying 3 * 4. xD you're just multiplying side MP by 3.
do you get it, or are you still confused?
confused?
