The scale factor from the large triangle to the small triangle is 3:1 What is the length of side x of the smaller triangle?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale factor of the large to small triangle is 3 : 1, the side lengths of the small triangle are 1/3 of the big triangle side lengths. (such as 8 compared to 24)

Therefore 3x = 30 and x = 10.

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.
