<span>88 This problem can be solved two ways. Since the ratio of each side is 3:8, you can use that ratio to calculate the length of each side of the larger triangle and then add them up to get the perimeter. Or you can realize that the perimeter will also have the ratio 3:8 and calculate the perimeter of the smaller triangle and then use the ratio to calculate the perimeter of the larger triangle. Since I'm lazy, I'll be using the second approach. Perimeter of smaller triangle is 8 + 11 + 14 = 33 cm. Now we can setup an equation to calculate the perimeter of the larger triangle: 33/3 = X/8 11 = X/8 88 = X So the perimeter of the larger triangle is 88.</span>

Kyle spends an equal amount of money each day. After 4 days, he had 4/5 of his money left. After another 10 days he had $30 left
Elden [556K]
4 days spending equal amounts so if x is how much he spends per day and y is the original amount then 4x=1/5y bc he has 4/5 left meaning what he spent was 1/5 of the original and after 10 more days which was 14 total he spent all but 30 so the total minus 30 will be how much kyle spent so
14x=y-30 which is y=(14x+30) and substitute that in for y in 4x=1/5y so 4x=1/5 (14x+30)
20x=14x+30
6x=30
x=5 and plug that in either of the original equations 4(5)=1/5y
y=100
so he had $100 and spent $5 per day

Tawnee is designing a playground in the shape of a rectangle. If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a sc
svetlana [45]

Answer:

We conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

i.e.

P = 2(l+w)

Here

  • 'l' is the length
  • 'w' is the width

Given that the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2

A scale factor of 2 means we need to multiply both length and width by 2.

i.e

P = 2× 2(l+w)

P' = 2 (2(l+w))

    = 2P      ∵ P = 2(l+w)

Therefore, we conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.
