Answer:

103=  p small

plarge = 123

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the the ratio of the areas is the scale factor squared/

Larger triangle over smaller triangle

72

----- = scale factor ^2

50

simplify by dividing by 2 on top and bottom

36

----- = scale factor ^2

25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(36)

-------------- = sqrt(scale factor ^2)

sqrt(25)

6

-------------- = scale factor

5

The ratio of the perimeters is the scale factor

p large             6

-------------- = ----------------

 p small                5

Using cross products

6 p large = 5 p small

We know the sum is 226

p large + p small = 226

p large = 226 - p small

We have 2 equation and 2 unknowns

6 p large = 5 p small

Substitute for p large

6 (226 - p small) = 5 p small

1356 - 6 p small = 5 p small

Add 6 p small to each side

1356 = 11 p small

divide by 11

1356/11 =  p small

P large = 226-1356/11

p large = 2486/11-1356/11

plarge = 1130/11

The solution requires whole number answers so

1356/11 =  p small

123.27 which rounds to 123

plarge = 1130/11

plarge = 102.7272 = 103

Find the values of x,y,z. This diagram is not a scale.
Serjik [45]

Important:
                             The sum of the three angles inside
                              every triangle is always 180°.


First, look at the left triangle alone.
Two of its angles are 46° and 58° .  (46° + 58° ) = 104°
That leaves (180° - 104° ) = 76° degrees for the third angle.
The third angle in that triangle is 'x'. 
                                                         x = 76° .

At the point where 'x' and 'z' come together:
'x' and 'z' are a "linear pair".
Placed side-by-side, they form a straight line.
So (x + z) = 180° .
But  x = 76°.
So z = (180° - 76°).              z = 104° .

Now look at the the skinny triangle on the right alone.
The angle at the top is 13°, and  z = 104°. 
(13° + 104°) = 117° . 
That leaves (180° - 117°) = 63° for the third angle.
'y' is the third angle.
                                                 y = 63° .

Kisachek [45]

Using a calculator, the equation for the line of best fit where x represents the month and y represents the time is given by:

a. y = −1.74x + 46.6

<h3>How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?</h3>

To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator.

For this problem, the points (x,y) are given as follows, from the given table:

(1, 46), (2, 42), (3,40), (4, 41), (5, 38), (6,36).

Hence, inserting these points in the calculator, the equation for the line of best fit where x represents the month and y represents the time is given by:

a. y = −1.74x + 46.6
