Answer: SECOND OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find the ratio of the sides of the triangle, as following:

r=\frac{30}{42}=\frac{5}{7}

Therefore, the ratio of the areas is:

r_A=(\frac{5}{7})^{2}\\\\r_A=\frac{25}{49}

Now you must multiply the area of the larger triangle by the ratio obtained above, therefore, you have that the result is:

A_s=(382ft^{2})(\frac{25}{49})=194.89ft^{2}≈195ft^{2}

HELP ME PLZZZZ!!!!!<br><br><br> It’s just 21 and 22
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

21) 12 cm

22) 5.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

21) The base is 10, and if the other two sides are congruent and the perimeter is 36, we can figure out with simple algebra that the sides are 13 cm long.

Half of 10 is 5, so we can use the pythagorean theorem.

5^2+x^2=13^2

Rearranging the variables we have 169-25=x^2

144=x^2

x can be plus or minus 12, but since negative length is impossible we find that x is positive 12 cm.

22) We want to use sine, because we have opposite and hypotenuse. A simple and easy way to memorize this is the SohCahToa method. If we have opposite (O) and hypotenuse (H) we have OH. Soh has the letters O and H, and the S means we should use sine.

sine 36=a/10

Plug this into a calculator or desmos scientific calculator to get a=5.9

The food stand at the zoo sold 2,514 pounds of hamburger last month. The average cost a pound of hamburger $2. Jeremy estimates
sergiy2304 [10]
That is about right... 2,514 X 2 = 5,028 so he is about 1,000 off. I will leave the rest to you.

the radius of a gold atom is 1.35 angstroms. how many gold atoms would it take to line up a span of 8.5 mm?
serg [7]
The angstrom<span>, also known as the </span>angstrom<span> unit, is a measure of displacement equal to 0.0000000001 meter (10 -10 m). It would be helpful to convert the units of angstrom to mm. We do as follows:

diameter = 2 x 1.35 x10^ -10 m ( 1000 mm / 1 m ) = 2.7 x 10^-10 mm / atom

Number of gold atoms = 8.5 mm / </span>2.7 x 10^-10 mm / atom = 31481481481.481 atoms

Find the y-intercept of the line on the graph.
BARSIC [14]
It's a little hard to see, but I'm almost positive the y intercept is -1.
 
Remember, the y intercept is wherever the line intercepts in the y axis 0.

Good luck my man.
