Answers: 1a. 2x + 4x + 5x = 253 11x = 253 x = 23 46cm, 92cm, 115cm 1b. 4x + 5x + 6x = 180 15x = 180 x = 12 48, 60, 72 degrees 2. 5x9 = 6(x + 2) 45 = 6x + 12 33 = 6x x = 5.5

Answers: 3. 6(x + 7) = 7(x + 4) 6x + 42 = 7x + 28 42 = x + 28 x = 14 4. Triangle ABC~Triangle EDF scale factor = 1/1

Answers: 5. Yes they are similar by AA Similarity. scale factor= 6.

Answers: 7. Yes by SSS similarity. 8. Yes by SAS Similarity. (all corresponding sides are in a ratio of 1/1)

Answers: 9. 10.
