1.  Yes, the are similar because if you set up a proportion for the sides of the triangles and cross-multiply, the values are the same: 40/48 = 30/36 If you cross-multiply you get 1,440 both ways 2.  Volume of the first prism:   V = (1/2)bhthp V = (1/2)(30)(40)hp V = 600h<span>p</span>

Answer:

1. Yes, they are similar because their corresponding sides are proportional.

2. The prism with Triangle DEF as the base will have the greater volume. The prism with the base as Triangle DEF will have a volume 1.44 times greater than the prism with Triangle ABC as the base.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 48/40= 1.2 and 36/30= 1.2

2. The volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height. In our case, the base is a triangle so use the formula for area of a triangle to find the area of the base. A= b x h x 1/2 (where b is the base length and h is the height of the triangle) First find the volumes.

For the prism with base ABC: 30 x 40 x 1/2 = 600

V=600 x h

For the prism with base DEF: 36 x 48 x 1/2 = 864

V=864 x h

Now that we have the volumes we can see that the prism with base DEF has a greater volume. To find how much greater we would disregard the height of the prism for now and...

864/600=1.44

(I know you might want to subtract rather than divide because that's what I did for my assignment. However, I got it wrong for some reason and my teacher said that instead of 864-600 I needed to do 864/600. I'm not sure why....but hopefully I helped in some way! )

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you roll dice, there are 6 possible outcomes.  

In order to not roll a 6, you'd have to roll either 1,2,3,4,5.

So you have a 5:6 chance of not rolling a 6.

But they're asking you to use the chart.

Based on the chart, you've rolled the die 24+10+8+3+30+15=90 times.

Of those 90 times, you rolled a 6 15 times.

Which means you did not roll a 6 90-15=75 times.

Therefore the probability of not rolling a 6, based on the chart, is 75/90=83%.

Notice that 5/6=83% as well.  So this chart is fairly accurate.

Now for number 2.

Based on the chart, odd numbers appear 24+8+30=52 times out of the 90.

So we can say that odd numbers show up 52/90=58% of the time.

If James is rolling the cube 250 times, we know odd numbers will show up 58% of the time so, .58*250=144 is how many times we can expect to see an odd number appear.

FOR 20 points
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

one tin of cheese $23

one tin of caramel $27

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = cost of cheese tin

let 'y' = cost of caramel tin

10x + 8y = 446

22x + 11y = 803

i multiplied the first equation by -11 and the second by 8 to eliminate the 'y' terms

  -110x - 88y = -4906

+  <u>176x + 88y = 6424</u>

    66x = 1518

     x = 1518 / 66

     x = 23

find 'y':  10(23) + 8y = 446

             230 + 8y = 446

              8y = 216

               y = 27
