Start without thinking of the options. You could do process of elimination, and that's fine, but to learn this kind of problem it's better to think it all the way through. The problem says you have 112 books, and an indefinite number shelves, s, that each hold sixteen books. You need to fit 112 books into shelves, each with sixteen books.  That comes down to 112÷s=16, which is the same as 16s=112.

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 20%, resulting in triangle ABC. If the length of each side of
kompoz [17]

Answer: Area of ΔABC is 2.25x the area of ΔDEF.

Step-by-step explanation: Because equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, area is calculated as

A=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}

with a as side of the triangle.

Triangle ABC is 20% bigger than the original, which means its side (a₁) measures, compared to the original:

a₁ = 1.2a

Then, its area is

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(1.2a)^{2}

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}1.44a^{2}

Triangle DEF is 20% smaller than the original, which means its side is:

a₂ = 0.8a

So, area is

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.8a)^{2}

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} 0.64a^{2}

Now, comparing areas:

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}= (\frac{\sqrt{3}.1.44a^{2} }{4})(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}.0.64a^{2} } )

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} = 2.25

<u>The area of ΔABC is </u><u>2.25x</u><u> greater than the area of ΔDEF.</u>

A rectangular picture has dimensions 2½ by 1½. It is to be enlarged so that it is still similar to the original rectangle. If th
S_A_V [24]
Original Perimeter = 2.5 + 2.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 8
The longer dimension is 2.5 as 2.5 > 1.5To make 2.5 into 10, we must multiply by 4For the smaller length, we must also multiply by 41.5 x 4 = 6
New Perimeter = 10 + 10 + 6 + 6 = 32
Now find the difference between the old and the new perimeter32 - 8 = 24
