\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{burned}{log}&\stackrel{time}{hr}\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{3}{4}&\frac{1}{3}\\\\
2\frac{1}{2}&h
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{2\frac{1}{2}}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{h}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{h}{1}}

\bf \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{h}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{2}{5}=\cfrac{1}{3h}\implies \cfrac{6}{20}=\cfrac{1}{3h}\implies 6\cdot 3h=20\cdot 1
\\\\\\
18h=20\implies h=\cfrac{20}{18}\implies h=\cfrac{10}{9}\implies h=1\frac{1}{9}

about 1 hour and 6 minutes with 36 seconds.

What is the scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle DEF?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Second option, scale factor is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that ∠B ≅ ∠E and ∠C ≅ ∠F, therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF by the AA Similarity for Triangles Theorem which states that if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent in two triangles, then those two triangles are similar. To find the scale factor, all we have to do is DF / AC = 5/2 or 2.5.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

They drove 150 miles on the third day

They drove 50 miles per hour so if you multiply that by 3 (since they drove 3 hours on the third day) you would get 150 miles.

Derek measured the height of a window frame as 5.49 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet. What is the percentage of error in D
KIM [24]
Actual = 6 feet.

Measure = 5.49 feet

Error = 6 - 5.49 = 0.51

% Error = (Error / Actual) * 100% 
 
              = 0.51/6 * 100% = 8.5%
