-11-(-7)
-11+7
Your answer is -4
Answer:
a) Similar triangles are triangles with the same shape but not necessarily the same size
b) 15/45 = 8/x
1/3 = 8/x (simplify the 15/45)
x = 8 * 3 (cross multiplication)
x = 24
c) y^2 = 15^2 + 8^2 (Pythagoras theorem)
y = *square root of* 15^2 + 8^2
y = 17
1/3 = 17/z
z = 17 * 3 (cross multiplication)
z = 51
Compare the areas of the 2 different pieces of paper.
For the circle, the area is A=pi * r^2, which works out to A = pi(5 inches)^2.
For the square, the area is A = s^2, where is the side length, which here is 11 inches.
Finish these calculations, and then compare your two areas. Which is the larger?
So you would just have to divide 20/7 to get the percentage of it.
The answer would be 2.85%.
