The assumption here is that, both triangles are similar.  Now, if that's the case,

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccllll}
&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Sides}&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Areas}&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Volumes}\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------

\bf \cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{small}{large}\qquad \cfrac{25}{35}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{5}{7}}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{5}{7}=\cfrac{\sqrt{270}}{\sqrt{x}}\implies \cfrac{5}{7}=\sqrt{\cfrac{270}{x}}
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{5}{7} \right)^2=\cfrac{270}{x}\implies \cfrac{5^2}{7^2}=\cfrac{270}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{7^2\cdot 270}{5^2}

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The answer is E.

Step-by-step explanation:

The firm minimizing the cost of production when the input value x is 5 time bigger than y. At the point firm is making maximum profit, then firm need to preserve this ratio. Therefore when the ratio of x/y=5 is the closest ratio that the firm can minimize the cost of the production.

What is 2x^2+9x-18 in vertex form?
atroni [7]

Complete the square:

2<em>x</em>² + 9<em>x</em> - 18

2(<em>x</em>² + 9/2 <em>x</em>) - 18

2(<em>x</em>² + 9/2 <em>x</em> + 81/16 - 81/16) - 18

2(<em>x</em>² + 2 (9/4) <em>x</em> + (9/4)²) - 81/8 - 18

2(<em>x</em> + 9/4)² - 225/8

If you're not familiar with the method, the idea is to get a quadratic from the standard form

<em>ax</em>² + <em>bx</em> + <em>c</em>

into its vertex form

<em>a</em> (<em>x</em> - <em>h</em>)² + <em>k</em>

where (<em>h</em>, <em>k</em>) is the vertex of the parabola associated with the quadratic.

Expand the vertex form to get

<em>a</em> (<em>x</em>² - 2<em>xh</em> + <em>h</em>²) + <em>k</em>

<em>ax</em>² - 2<em>ahx</em> + <em>ah</em>² + <em>k</em>

For the two forms to be equivalent, we must have

-2<em>ah</em> = <em>b</em>

<em>ah</em>² + <em>k</em> = <em>c</em>

which means

<em>h</em> = -<em>b</em>/(2<em>a</em>)

<em>k</em> = <em>c</em> - <em>ah</em>² = <em>c</em> - <em>b</em>²/(4<em>a</em>)

In this case, <em>a</em> = 2, <em>b</em> = 9, and <em>c</em> = -18, so

<em>h</em> = -9/(2 • 2) = -9/4

<em>k</em> = 18 - 9²/(4 • 2) = -225/8

How do I scale a landscape drawing that is half an acre
Sever21 [200]

The steps to carry out scaling of a landscape drawing are; as detailed below

<h3>How to do landscape drawings?</h3>

The steps to carry out if we want to scale landscape drawings are;

  • 1) Measure the half acre area that you want to draw.

  • 2) Write down your notations. Convert the measurements to inches so you can draw your rendition on a piece of standard paper.

  • 3) Scale the items by use of ratios. Set up your fraction as the length of the paper divided by the measured length.

  • 4) Divide the fraction answer by the measured length  and reduce the fraction by dividing the top and bottom by the fraction answer.

  • 5) Scale everything you are going to draw accordingly.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Isabella bought 70.19 ounces of dark chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to subtract the total which is 71.4 minus the 1.21 ounces of the white chocolate, you then will get 70.19 ounces of dark chocolate. To be sure, you can add 70.19+1.21 and will get you the total amount of ounces of chocolate. Hope this helps :D

How do I explain this??
beks73 [17]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-axis shows Craig's pitch speed in miles per hour.

The highest speed he did was between 70 to 75 mph. Craig's doesn't specify the speed in the histogram, so we can only be sure that Craig's fastest is between 70 to 75 mph.
