To determine the area of a triangle, we calculate one half of the product of the base and the height of the triangle so we need data on its base and its height. We are given the following:

Hypotenuse = 7 + base = 14 + height
Perimeter = 84 inches

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of the three sides of the triangle which are the height, base and hypotenuse. So,

Perimeter = height + base + hypotenuse = 84

We let x = height and y = base. We calculate area as follows:

84 = x + y + (7 + y)
77 = x + 2y
x = 77 -2y

Hypotenuse is related to the other sides by the Pythagorean theorem.

Hypotenuse^2 = (x^2 + y^2)
(14 + x)^2 = x^2 + y^2
(14 + (77-2y))^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2
(91-2y)^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2

Solving for y and x
y = 28
x = 21

Area = (28)(21) / 2 = 294 square inches

What is the scale factor of this dilation? 2/3, 1 1/2, 3, 5?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor of 1:3 means that one triangle is 3 times bigger than the other, for example. So, if the small triangle has a perimeter of 27, the big triangle has a perimeter 3 times as big.

Which of the following equations has the given solution set?
tester [92]
-2m + 5 = 2m + 5
2m + 2m = 5 - 5
4m = 0
m = 0

-2m + 5 = -2m + 5
-2m + 2m = 5 - 5
0 = 0

-2m + 5 = -2m - 5
-2m + 2m = 5 + 5
0 = 10
Solution set is Ф
