Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Take the inches over the money.

15 inches        x inches

--------------- = -----------

45 cents          24 cents

Using cross products

15*24 = x *45

Divide each side by 45

15*24/45 = x*45/45

8 =x

You can buy 8 inches

Answer:

8 inches of wire for 24 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. Find the amount it costs for 1 inch of wire. Divide 45 with 15:

45/15 = 3

1 inch of wire costs 3 cents.

Now, solve for the the amount of wire (x) you can get for 24 cents

(1/3)(8/8) = (x/24)

1 x 8 = 8

3 x 8 = 24

x = 8

8 inches of wire for 24 cents

Which of these sets of angle measures could be the three angles in a triangle?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Okay so this is simple addition, once you know how to do it. 

The interior angles of a triangle should always add up to 180 Degrees. 

Now that you know this, all you have to do is add the numbers together and see which ones add up to 180 degrees. 

A. - 90+42+58=190

B. - 60+60+60=180

C. - 100+48+42=190

D. - 31+75+70=176

Out of these choices the only one that adds up to 180 is B. So your answer would be B.

Two triangular roofs are similar. The ratio of the corresponding sides of these roofs is 2:3. If the altitude of the smaller roo
schepotkina [342]

Answer:  6.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the ratio of the side of the similar triangle = 2 : 3

Thus, by the property of similar triangle,

The ratio of the altitudes of the triangle = 2 : 3

Let the altitude of smaller triangle = 2 x

And, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 x

Where x is any number.

According to the question,

2 x = 4.5

x = 2.25

Therefore, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 × 2.25 = 6.75 feet
