Question

help me with Similarity and Scale

Answer 1

help me @AriPotta

Answer 2

yay proportion time~

side MN corresponds to side TU
side NO corresponds to side UV

so...\[\frac{ MN }{ TU }=\frac{ NO }{ UV }\]

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

MN = 2.2
TU = x
NO = 4.1
UV = 12.3

\[\frac{ 2.2 }{ x }=\frac{ 4.1 }{ 12.3 }\]
cross-multiply and solve for x

Answer 5

66 or 6.6?

Answer 6

2.2(12.3) = 4.1x

Answer 7

so its 4.1?

Answer 8

no..

Answer 9

what's 2.2 time 12.3

Answer 10

times*

Answer 11

like that?

Answer 12

it's not 22, it's 2.2

Answer 13

lol thx

Answer 14

so the answer is 2.2?

Answer 15

no.

Answer 16

27.06?

Answer 17

so 2.2(12.3) = 4.1x is what we get after cross-multiplying. make sense?

Answer 18

so its 4.1?

Answer 19

im sorry im not good at this

Answer 20

no. that is an equation.

we can use that equation to solve for x.

Answer 21

2.2(12.3) = 4.1x

what is 2.2 times 12.3?

Answer 22

27.06

Answer 23

right. so 27.06 = 4.1x

what should we do now to get x by itself?

Answer 24

okay

Answer 25

lol that was a question. what do we do next?

Answer 26

i dont know im new to this

Answer 27

what's the opposite of multiplication

Answer 28

divide

Answer 29

right. so we're going to divide both sides of the equation by 4.1 to get our answer.
