The altitude of the smaller triangle will be given as follows:
let the altitude of the smaller triangle be x
scale factor of small to large triangle is 3:5
but
scale factor=(length of small Δ)/(length of large Δ)
plugging in our values we get:
3/5=x/24
solving for x we get:
x=3/5×24
x=14.4 inches

Answer: 14.4 inches

How many factors does the following term have? <br><br> 2xy
egoroff_w [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • 4 factors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Factors are numbers that if they are divided, then they would be divisible. We can see that the term is multiplied with 3 terms. Hence, they are definitely factors of that term. However, there is one more factor that is divisible by 2xy. The number 1 is divisible by 2xy. Hence, the factors of this term is 2, x, y, and 1.</em>

Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree.
fredd [130]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the measure of required angle be x degree

\therefore \tan \: x =  \frac{33}{56}  \\  \\ \therefore \tan \: x =  0.589285714  \\  \\ \therefore  \: x =   {\tan}^{ - 1} (0.589285714)  \\  \\  \therefore  \: x =   {\tan}^{ - 1} ( \tan \: 30.510237394 \degree) \\  \\    \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore  \: x =   31\degree}}

Thus, first option is the correct answer.

Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. What is the value of y? {3x+2y=12{5x−y=7 A) y = -3B) y = 3C) y = -2
Vlad [161]

<em>Answer</em>

B) y = 3

<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>

Given the system of equations:

\begin{gathered} 3x+2y=12\text{ \lparen eq. 1\rparen} \\ 5x-y=7\text{ \lparen eq. 2\rparen} \end{gathered}

Isolating x from equation 1:

\begin{gathered} 3x+2y-2y=12-2y \\ 3x=12-2y \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12-2y}{3} \\ x=\frac{12}{3}-\frac{2}{3}y \\ x=4-\frac{2}{3}y\text{ \lparen eq. 3\rparen} \end{gathered}

Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

\begin{gathered} 5(4-\frac{2}{3}y)-y=7 \\ 5\cdot4-5\cdot\frac{2}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{10}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y-20=7-20 \\ -\frac{13}{3}y=-13 \\ (-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-\frac{13}{3}y=(-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-13 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}

Mr. Itol's assistant takes twice as long to complete a computer task as Mr. Itol. If it takes both experts 6 hours to complete t
Lesechka [4]
So, in order to solve this problem, I will set up an equation. First, let's make x= the # of hours it takes Mr. Itol to complete a computer task, and since his assistant takes twice as long, lets make 2x=the # of hours it takes the assistant to complete the task. We also know that it takes the two of them 6 hours to complete the task together. We can now set up the following equation: 

\frac{1}{2x} +  \frac{1}{x} =  \frac{1}{6}

Now, in order to be able to solve this, we have to find the least common denominator, and then we can cancel out the denominators to solve for the top part. The LCD=6x and the new equation becomes: 

\frac{3}{6x} +  \frac{6}{6x} =  \frac{x}{6x}

Now, we can get rid of the denominators, and we get:

3+6=x

So, x= 9

Now we know that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to complete the task if he were to do it himself. To find how long it would take his assistant to complete the same task by himself, we just need to plug in the x-value into 2x:

2(9)=18

Therefore, your answer is that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to do the job alone, while his assistant will take 18 hours (double the time) to do the job alone.

Hope this helps :)

AEFG - ALMN. Find the ratio of AEFG to ALMN.<br><br> A)1:4<br> B)1:2<br> C)2.1<br> D)4:1
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

C)2 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

AEFG ≈ ALMN

FG / MN = 4 / 2 = 2/1

So the ratio of AEFG to ALMN = 2 / 1 or 2 : 1
