7 0

To see if a pair of ratios is proportional... you need to compute for its cross products. If the cross products are equal then they are proportional.

a/b = c/d where ad = bc

a) 4/9 = 16/45 ⇒ 4*45 = 9*16 ⇒ 180 = 144 NOT PROPORTIONAL

b) 5/12 = 25/144 ⇒ 5*144 = 12*25 ⇒ 720 = 300 NOT PROPORTIONAL

c) 12/18 = 18/27 ⇒ 12*27 = 18*18 ⇒ 324 = 324 PROPORTIONAL

d)15/20 = 7/10 ⇒ 15*10 = 20*7 ⇒ 150 = 140 NOT PROPORTIONAL

A girl's feet are negative 4 over 6 yards from the surface of a pool. A boy's feet are negative 1 over 6 yards from the surface

notka56 [123]

The correct answer is B.

See diagram

EXPLANATION

Let us choose zero to be our reference point. That is zero is representing the surface of the pool.

Since

$-\frac{1}{6}>-\frac{4}{6}$

Or

$-\frac{4}{6}$

$-\frac{1}{6}$

will be closer to zero.

We were told that

$-\frac{1}{6}$

is where the boy's feet are. Therefore his feet are closer to the surface of the pool than the girl's feet.

So the correct answer is

the second option

First I would find the base, which is a square so 10x10=100
then find the triangle (a=1/2bh) a=1/2(12)(10) a=1/2(120) a=60
since there are four triangle sides do 60x4 which equals 240, so then add the sides to the base 100+240=340, the answer is A

Find the perimeter of a train of 100 equilateral triangles if the triangles are joined side to side. Each side is one inch long.

yarga [219]

Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

Each triangle will have a perimeter of 3. When joined, the outside triangles will have 2 sides showing, or 2 inches. The middle 98 will only have one free side, or one inch. This means that 98*1 + 2*2 = 102
