Answer:
2.7 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
similar triangles have the same angles, and all side lengths (or other distances) of one triangle have the same scaling factor to the side lengths of the other triangle.
so, we know the relation between the 2 baselines is 2/3, as this is the factor to turn the baseline of the large triangle into the baseline of the smaller triangle.
in other words
EF = BC × 2/3
2 = 3 × 2/3
correct
how do we calculate the area of a triangle ?
Area = baseline × height / 2
from BAC we know
Area = 6
baseline = 3
height = ?
6 = 3 × height / 2
12 = 3 × height
height = 4
aha !
now, EDF has a height too that we need to calculate is Area. and this height has the same scaling factor compared to the larger triangle as the side lengths : 2/3
so, for EDF we know
Area = ?
baseline = 2
height = 4 × 2/3 = 8/3
therefore, the area is
Area = (2 × 8/3) / 2 = (16/3) / 2 = 8/3 = 2.66666... ≈ 2.7
the shirt answer would be :
we know from the 2 baselines that the scaling factor for each distance is 2/3.
for the area we need to multiply 2 distances, so that means we have to multiply both by 2/3. and so on the formula for the area we have to use 2/3 × 2/3.
2/3 × 2/3 = 4/9
=>
Area small = Area large × 4/9 = 6 × 4/9 = 24/9 = 8/3 ≈ 2.7
Answer:
1012
Step-by-step explanation:
She eats 1012 because:
If she eats 45 in 2 minutes then she eats 22.5 in 1 minute.
This is because 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5
Sarah eats blueberries for 45 minutes so we multiply 22.5 by 45
22.5 × 45 = 1012.5
She ate 1012 full berries.
Answer: is it 0.258
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -8
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this expression using simultaneous equation, we would say let
y =9............................................. equation 1
6x + 5y =-3............................................equation 2
substitute equation 1 into equation 2
-3 = 6x + 5y............................................equation 2
6x + 5(9) = -3
6x + 45 = -3
collect the like terms
6x = -3-45
6x = -48
divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 6
6x/6 = -48/6
x = -8
therefore y = 9
x = -8
To get the answer we can use proportion
10 large ------------- 14 small
x large -------------- 35 small
crossmultiply
10*35=x*14
350=14x /:14
350:14=14x:14
25=x-its the answer
