There are 5280 feet in a mile
There are 3600 seconds in an hour
to get 40 miles per hour
we multiply 40 by 5280 and divide by 3600
40 * 5280 / 3600
this gets us 58.666666...
but since they want us to round to the nearest whole number, our answer would be 59 feet per second
Answer with step-by-step explanation:
The way the question is worded, this actually shouldn't be correct. The correct answer should be
.
Because the trapezoids are similar, we can find the ratio of their perimeters by actually just finding the ratio of their sides.
Why?
By definition, the corresponding sides of a polygon are in a constant proportion. The perimeter is simply the sum of all sides of the polygon. Since we're just adding the sides, the proportion will still be maintained.
Therefore, we'll just need to ratio of their corresponding sides. The only two corresponding sides that are marked are
and
.
The ratio of
is
.
The reason why it ideally should be
and not
is because the question states
, which mentions
first, so our answer should follow this respective order. I believe you were marked right anyways because the specific order is not specified, but generally, you want to give your answer respectively by default.
I think this is the associative property of multiplication.
