The answer is p = -8/15

Proportion can simply be defined as equating two ratios

The proportion of 3/2 = 4/p +9 can be calculated as follows

3/2 - 9/1 = 4/p

-15/2 = 4/p

cross multiply both sides together to find the value of p

-15×p= 4×2

-15p= 8

p= -8/15

Hence the answer is p= -8/15

△HFM∼△PST

loris [4]

Answer:

The perimeter of △HFM is 50.75 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

we have

△HFM∼△PST ----> given problem

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{HF}{PS}$

substitute the given values

$z=\frac{14}{8}=1.75$

step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle PST

Remember that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three length sides

$P=8+9+12=29\ units$

step 3

Find the perimeter of triangle HFM

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

The perimeter of triangle HFM is equal to the perimeter of triangle PST multiplied by the scale factor

$29(1.75)=50.75\ units$

Please help simplify this...

juin [17]

Answer is 36.
First use the negative exponent rule. When a number is put to the negative power it becomes a fraction
4/3^2

Now 3 to the second power is 9
4/1/9 (4 over 1/9)
Now multiply 4 x 9 (dividing by 1/9 is the same as multiplying by 9)

4 x 9= 36
