The polygons are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale. find the value of x

 The required value of x is 9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the polygons shown in the figure are similar.

We are to find the value of x in the figure.

We know that

the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

From the given two similar polynomials, we must have

Thus, the required value of x is 9 units.

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3

step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
