Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are said to be similar. (ΔNPQ ~ ΔRSQ) That means corresponding sides have the same ratio:
NP/RS = NQ/RQ = PQ/SQ = 24/32 = 21/28 = 3/4
This ratio, or scale factor, also applies to the perimeters of the two triangles.
perimeter NPQ / perimeter RSQ = 3/4
Using the given expressions for the perimeters, we have ...
(7x +2)/(10x -4) = 3/4
We can solve this equation in the usual way to find the value of x. Then we can use that value to find the perimeter of ΔNPQ.
4(7x +2) = 3(10x -4) . . . . . multiply both sides by 4(10x -4)
28x +8 = 30x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
20 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-28x to both sides
10 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 10
The perimeter of ΔNPQ is ...
7x +2 = 7(10) +2 = 72
The perimeter of triangle NPQ is 72 units.
Answer: 112 cups = 7 gallons
Answer:
96 square centimetres
Step-by-step explanation:
3 feet= 12 centimetres
2 feet= 8 centimetres
if 1 foot equals 4 centimetres then you would multiply 3x4 to get the length and 4x2 to get the width and multiple those answers to get the final area.
Answer:6
Step-by-step explanation:
With the 3 on the side we can estimate it being at least half of x so 3(2) , equals 6 hope it helped :)
