a company charges $13 plus $3 per hour to rent a boat. abigail and monique want to rent a boat but do not want to spend more than $20 each. what is the maximum number of hours the girls can rent a boat? *
a)2 hours
b) 5 hours
c) 9 hours
d) 6 hours

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
