Mathematics
1 answer:
lina2011 [118]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. x = 9

b. x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a. By Basic proportionality theorem:

AB/BD = AC/CE

4/4 = x/9

1 = x/9

9 = x

x = 9

b.

In \: \triangle ABC \: \& \: \triangle EDF\\\angle B \cong \angle D....(given) \\\angle C \cong \angle F.....(given) \\\therefore \triangle ABC \: \sim \: \triangle EDF.. (AA\: POSTULATE) \\\therefore \frac{AB}{ED} = \frac{BC}{DF} ...(csst) \\\therefore \frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{9}\\\therefore x = \frac{2\times 9}{5} \\\therefore x = \frac{18}{5} \\\huge \red{\boxed {\therefore x = 3.6}} \\

The ratio of the side lengths of a quadrilateral is 2:3:5:6 and its perimeter is 48 cm. What is the length of the longest side?
Alex17521 [72]
The side lengths are given in proportions which are 2:3:5:6. The perimeter is given as the sum of all the sides which is given as 48 cm. Using ratio and proportion, the sum of all the sides or the perimeter is proportional to the sum of all the fractions and the largest fraction is proportional to the longest side of the quadrilateral. 

Let x be the longest side of the quadrilateral. The largest proportion is 6. 
6/(2+3+5+6) = 6/16
6/16 = x/48

x= 18 cm. The longest side is 18 cm. The other sides are 6, 9, 15 using the other proportions.

Erion plans to tile the floor of his kitchen. The kitchen is 11 feet by 15 feet. The tiles he will be using are square, measurin
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

First, find the area for the kitchen floor: 16.5*15=247.5 squared feet

Then find the area for one tile: 0.5*0.5=0.25 squared feet

Finally, divide the mayor area between the minor: 247.5/0.25= 990 tiles.

Also you can do it in this another way:

First, divide length of the kitchen floor between the length of one tile: 16.5/0.5=33

Then, do the same for the height: 15/0.5=30

Finally multyply both results: 33*30= 990 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

or just 990
