Square root to a 100

After triangle ACE is dilated by a factor of 6, it has an area of 180 square inches. What was its area before dilation?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The area of triangle ACE before dilation is: 30 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when an object is dilated by a scale factor, it gets reduced, stretched, or remains the same, depending upon the value of the scale factor.

If the scale factor > 1, the image is enlarged

If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, it gets shrunk

If the scale factor = 1, the object and the image are congruent

The length of the image can be determined by multiplying the length of the original point by a certain scale factor.

Given that after triangle ACE is dilated by a factor of 6, it has an area of 180 square inches.

Thus, it means the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation.

Let x be the pre-dilation area

As the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation, so

6x = 180

divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 180/6

x = 30 square inches.

Therefore, the area of triangle ACE before dilation is: 30 square inches

Metal A has a density of 12.7 g/cm3.

stira [4]

Using the given information, the density of metal B is 8.58 g/cm³

<h3>Calculating density </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the density of metal B

From the given information,

55 g of metal A is combined with metal B to create an alloy with mass 90 g

∴ Mass of metal B in the alloy = 90 g - 55 g = 35 g

Now, we will determine the volume of metal A in the alloy

Using the formula,

Density = Mass / Volume

∴ Volume = Mass / Density

Volume of metal A in the alloy = 55/12.7

Volume of metal A in the alloy = 4.33 cm³

Then, we will determine the volume of the alloy

Volume of the alloy = 90/10.7

Volume of the alloy = 8.41 cm³

∴ Volume of metal B in the alloy = 8.41 cm³- 4.33 cm³

Volume of metal B in the alloy = 4.08 cm³

Now, for the density of metal B

Density = mass / volume

Density of metal B = 35 / 4.08

Density of metal B = 8.58 g/cm³

Hence, the density of metal B is 8.58 g/cm³.

You only have to apply the theorem of Pythagoras here. Remember the square on the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides :

1. AB is the hypotenuse, so, according to the theorem we can write :

AB² = AC² + CB²

c² = 5² + 4²

c²= 25 + 16

c² = 41

applying the square root of 41 we get :

c ≈ 6.40 rounded to the hundred

The next cases are exactly the same thing so there is no need for explanation :

2.

AB is the hypotenuse here because it is the biggest side clearl :

AB² = AC² + CB²

25² = 15² + b²

Thus

b² = 25² - 15²

we just subtracted 15² on each side of the equation

b² = 625 - 225

b² = 400

applying the square root of 400 we get

b = √400 = 20

So AC = 20

3. The longest side is clearly AB = 60

So

AB² = AC² + CB²

60² = 40² + a²

subtracting 40² on each side of the equation we get :

a² = 60² - 40²

I let you finish this using your calculator and doing exactly like the previous cases

4.

AB is the hypotenuse,

AB² = AC² + CB²

23² = b² + 14²

Subtracting 14² from each side of the equation we get

b² = 23² - 14²

5.

AB is the biggest side :

AB² = AC² + CB²

29² = 23² + a²

We subtract 23² on each sides of the equation :

a² = 29² - 23²

You can finish with your calculator

6.

AB² = AC² + BC²

78² = b² + 30²

subtraction...

b² = 78² - 30²

Good luck :)
