Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! Since these are similar figures we need to find the scale factor in order to answer this question.

We have a triangle with sides 7, 4, and 9. The longest side is 9. This corresponds with the longest side on the similar triangle, which is 36. So to find the scale factor we divide 36 by 9. The scale factor is 4.

Now to find the shortest side of the bigger triangle, we have to find the length of the shortest side on the smaller one which is 4. Since our scale factor is 4, we multiply 4 by 4 to get 16.

The length of the shortest side of the similar triangle is 16

A farmer plants corn and wheat on a 180-acre farm. The farmer wants to plant three times as many acres of corn as wheat. Write a
Colt1911 [192]
C=number of acres of corn
w=number of acres of wheat

total is 180 acres

c+w=180

wants to plant 3 times as many corn as wheat
c=3w

subsitute 3w for c in other

c+w=180
3w+w=180
4w=180
divide boh sides by 4
w=45

sub back
c=3w
c=3(45)
c=135

135 acres of corn and 45 acres of wheat

What would be the answer? Or how do I solve it?
stellarik [79]

AB = √(8^2 + 6^2)

AB = √100

AB = 10

AC = √(8^2 + 15^2)

AC = √289

AC = 17

BC = 9

P= AB + AC + BC

P = 10 + 17 + 9

P = 36 units

34)

Area of ABC = 1/2 x 8 x 9

A = 36 square units

42 is the answer

Explanation:
50% of 80 is half of 80 which is 40

Then you would add 40 with 5% of 40

What you would do then is 5% times 40 then you would change the 5% into a decimal which is 0.05 and multiply it by 40 , which would get u 2

Then you would add the price with tax
40+2 = 42

A​ person's rectangular dog pen for his dog must have an area of 200 square feet.​ Also, the length must be 12 feet longer than
kherson [118]

Answer:

width = 9.36 ft

length = 21.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.

To calculate the area would then be

x(x+12) = 200

xx^{2} +12x=200x^{2} +12x-200=0

x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft

We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are

width = 9.36 ft

length =  9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft
