Answer: The area of triangle ΔXYZ is 12 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

RS = 3 inches

XY = 2 inches

Area of ΔRST = 27 in²

Since ΔRST is similar to ΔXYZ.

So, using the "Area similarity theorem":

\dfrac{\Delta RST}{\Delta XYZ}=\dfrac{RS^2}{XY^2}\\\\\dfrac{27}{\Delta XYZ}=\dfrac{3^2}{2^2}\\\\\dfrac{27}{\Delta XYZ}=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\\Delta XYZ=3\times 4=12\ in^2

Hence, the area of triangle ΔXYZ is 12 square inches.

Marine fuel is a combination of gasoline and motor oil. The standard gasoline and oil mixture is about 98% gasoline and about 2%
Georgia [21]

Answer:

0.98g+ 0.02m= 7.1224 gallons standard mixture

0.96g+ 0.04m= 6.25 gallons break oil

3.92 gallons of gasoline  is required for  4 gallons the standard mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have to use 6 gallons of gasoline this means that 98%= 6 gallons and 2% would be 6/98*2

Gasoline: Motor oil

6              :    x

98        : 2

Using the product rule

x= 6*2/98= 0.1224 gallons of motor oil is required.

Let the gasoline be represented by g and motor oil by m then for the standard oil the equation would be

0.98g+ 0.02m= 7.1224 gallons standard mixture

For break in oil

Gasoline: Motor oil

6              :    x

96        : 4

Using the product rule

x= 6*4/96= 0.25 gallons of motor oil is required.

Let the gasoline be represented by g and motor oil by m then for the break oil the equation would be

0.96g+ 0.04m= 6.25 gallons break oil

Part b. For  4 gallons of the "break in" mixture

96% of the 4 gallons of the "break in" mixture is gasoline =  3.84 gallons of gasoline

4% of 4 = 0.16 gallons of motor oil

Now the standard mixture 4 gallons would contain 98 % of gasoline and 2 % of motor oil

98% of 4 gallons= 3.92 gallons of gasoline

2% of  4 gallons= 0.08 gallons of motor oil.
