Answer:

75 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the lengths of two corresponding sides. The scale factor from the large triangle to the small triangle is 16/64 = 1/4. Each side of the smaller triangle is 1/4 times the length of the corresponding side of the large triangle.

For the areas, the scale factor is the square of the scale factor of the lengths. Area scale factor = 1/4^2 = 1/16.

The area of the small triangle is 1/16 the area of the large triangle.

area of small triangle = (area of large triangle) * (area scale factor)

area of small triangle = 1200 cm^2 * 1/6 = 1200 cm^2/16

area of small triangle = (1200 cm^2)/16 = 75 cm^2

The value of

marusya05 [52]

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

We have to find out the value of the fraction.

Let us assume that:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + ... \infty} } }$

We can also write it as:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto x =\dfrac{2x + 1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} =2x + 1$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - 2x - 1 = 0$

Comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get:

$\sf \longmapsto\begin{cases} \sf a =1 \\ \sf b = - 2 \\ \sf c = - 1 \end{cases}$

By quadratic formula:

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{ {( - 2)}^{2} - 4(1)( - 1)} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{8} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm2 \sqrt{2} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 1 \pm\sqrt{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \begin{cases} \sf 1 + \sqrt{2} \\ \sf 1 - \sqrt{2} \end{cases}$

But "x" cannot be negative. Therefore:

$\sf :\implies x = 1 + \sqrt{2}$

So, the value of the fraction is 1 + √2.
