Well I THINK triangle ABC is just a stretched out version of triangle DEF.
To find the area of a triangle, you multiply base and height, and divide by 2.
Area of DEF is 6, so that means that (4 * x)/2 = 6.
6*2 = 12....
4 * x = 12........
4 * 3 = 12.
x = 3.
Comparing DEF to ABC: ABC's base is 3 times as long as DEF's. So that means the height must be three times as long.
3*3 = 9.
(12 * 9)/2 =54
Answer:
2 1/4 or 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
2*3= 6
3/4*3= 2 1/4
Answer:
No Solution
Step-by-step explanation:
6 - 3x = 4 - x - 3 - 2x (Given)
6 - 3x = -1 -3x (combine like terms)
7 (addition)
The x cancels each other out so no solution.
She has 64 cups
1 gallon is 16 cups
Let m and h represent hours Mai spends mowing and hauling, respectively. Then (m+h) will be the number of hours Priya spends babysitting. In order for their earnings to be equal, we must have
7m +14h = 8.40(m+h)
Subtract 7m+8.40h: 5.60h = 1.40m
Divide by 1.40: m = 4h
Then the total number of hours worked by either person is
m + h = (4h) +h = 5h
When only whole numbers of hours are worked, the smallest number of hours that will make earnings equal is 5h, with h=1, or 5 hours. In that time, each will earn 5×$8.40 = $42.
Therefore, each of them must work 5 hours and earn $42 before they go to the movies and Mai will work 4 hours mowing and 1 hour hauling.
