Answer:

The ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC is \frac{9}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

In this problem

Triangles XBY and ABC are similar, because the corresponding internal angles are congruent

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z-------> the scale factor

z=\frac{BY}{BC}

we have

BY=3\ units

BC=2+3=5\ units

substitute

z=\frac{3}{5}

step 2

Find the ratio of the area of triangle XBY to the area of triangle ABC

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

we have

z=\frac{3}{5} -----> scale factor

so

z^{2} =(\frac{3}{5})^{2} =\frac{9}{25}

<span>Ivy has 4 tiles with pictures of plants and 5 tiles with pictures of animals. Ivy keeps all the tiles on a mat with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns another over tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Ivy turns over has a plant on it. To solve the problem the first step is to find out how many tiles are in total. Since one of the plant tiles were removed we have 3 left. 
</span>
5 + 3 = 8

Now we find the percent by dividing 3 from 8. The top number is called  the NUMERATOR<span> and the bottom number is called the </span>DENOMINATOR<span>.</span>

3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

0.375 x 100 = 37.5

Answer = <span>37.5%

The local hardware store wants to increase their inventory. last year 15 electric screwdrivers cost them $300. at the same cost,
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Cost of 45 screwdrivers will be = $900

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year 15 electric screwdrivers cost to the local hardware store = $300

So per screwdriver cost = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total number of screw drivers}}

= \frac{300}{15}

= $20

Now we have to calculate the cost of 45 screw drivers.

Since cost of 1 screwdriver = $20

So cost of 45 screwdrivers = 20×45 = $900
