Jerry measured and timed the descent of a diving bell spider in a large fish tank. the spider reached a position 4 1/2 inches below the surface of the water after descending at a constant rate for 1 1/2 seconds. jerry recorded this as −4 1/2 inches. what is the position of the spider relative to the surface after 1 second? enter your answer in the box.

-3 is the answer when you do this equation. Or it could be 300 depending.

darn right!

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.
