Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

231 - 7a = 98 = -7a + 231 = 98

Subtract 231 from both sides to get -7a = -133

Divide by -7 on both sides to get a = 19

Answer:

a = 19 is the correct solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u> : Start by simplifying both sides of the problem.

231 − 7a = 98

231 + − 7a = 98

−7a + 231 = 98

<u>Step 2</u> : Next step is to subtract 231 from both sides

−7a + 231 − 231 = 98 − 231

−7a = −133

<u>Step 3</u>: Finally, divide both sides by -7.

( When I use the symbol /, it signifies I'm dividing.)

-7a/-7 = -133/-7

-133 divided by -7 equals 19

This shows that a = 19. I hope this helps! :D

The planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. The point in the orbit at which the planet is cl
gladu [14]

Consider the attached ellipse. Let the sun be at the right focus. Then perihelion is at right vertex on the x-axis and aphelion is at the left vertex on the x-axis.

The distances:

  • from perihelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a-c;
  • from aphelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a+c.

Then

\left\{\begin{array}{l}a-c=741,000,000\\a+c=817,000,000\end{array}\right.

Add these two equations:

2a=1,558,000,000 \\ \\a=779,000,000

and subtract first equation from the second:

2c=76,000,000 \\ \\c=38,000,000.

Note that b=\sqrt{a^2-c^2}, thus

b=\sqrt{779,000,000^2-38,000,000^2}=\sqrt{605,397,000,000,000,000}.

The equation for the planet's orbit is

\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2}{606,841,000,000,000,000}+\dfrac{y^2}{605,397,000,000,000,000}=1.

Abc similar to def the area of abc is 45cm and the area of triangle def is 20cm one side of triangle abc is 3.6cm the the length
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

2.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

that means two lengths of the triangle have to be multiplied.

and to have 2 similar triangles means that all lengths inside one triangle are the corresponding lengths inside the other triangle multiplied by the scaling factor f.

multiplying 2 if these lengths with each other means also including the square of the scaling factor (multiplying with the scaling factor twice).

so, if the area of triangle 1 is

"baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2 = 45 cm²

then the area of triangle 2 is

"baseline 2" × "height 2" / 2 =

= "baseline 1"×f × "height 1"×f /2 =

= "baseline 1" × "height 1" × f² / 2 =

= ("baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2) × f² =

= 45 × f² = 20 cm²

f² = 20/45 = 4/9

f = 2/3

so, for a side of ABC being 3.6cm long, that means the corresponding side in DEF is

3.6 × f = 3.6 × 2/3 = 7.2/3 = 2.4cm
