The current age for each member of the Garza family is shown below: Jim is 49 years old.
Gianneta is 42 years old.
Elizabeth is 22 years old.
Danielle is 18 years old.
Kurt is 15 years old.
Tyler is 9 years old.
Franco is 5 years old.
Pilar is 1 year old.

Which of the following statements accurately compares the ages of the
Garza family now, to their ages two years ago? (Two years ago, Pilar was
not yet part of the Garza family.)

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+

when rotating a figure 180 degrees, imagine that you are able to take the figure and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise around a center point. to rotate a figure 180 degrees, you will need to apply the rule (x, y) → (-x, -y). start by using a coordinate grid with coordinates for each vertex of the figure. the center point of the coordinate grid is located at (0, 0), which is what you will rotate the figure around. write down the original coordinates of the shape you are going to rotate. then, apply the rule. for example, coordinate (1, 2) becomes (-1, -2). another example would be, coordinate (-4, -2) becoming (4, 2). after you change each original coordinate to the rotated coordinate, you will draw your new figure.
