Answer:

The perimeter of △HFM is 50.75 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

we have

△HFM∼△PST ----> given problem

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{HF}{PS}$

substitute the given values

$z=\frac{14}{8}=1.75$

step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle PST

Remember that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three length sides

$P=8+9+12=29\ units$

step 3

Find the perimeter of triangle HFM

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

The perimeter of triangle HFM is equal to the perimeter of triangle PST multiplied by the scale factor

$29(1.75)=50.75\ units$

White and black shapes are used in a game Some of the shapes are circles All the other shapes are squares The ratio of white to

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The fraction of all shapes which are square in shape is $\frac{23}{32}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , in a game , white and black shapes are used. Some of them are circle in shape and remains are square in shape.

The ratio of white to black shapes are 5:11.

Consider 5x= the number of shapes which are white in color.

11x= The number of shapes which are black in color.

There are (5x+11x)= 16x shapes in the game.

The white circle and white square are in the ratio 3:7.

The number of white square is

$=(\textrm{The number of white shape})\times (\frac{7}{3+7})$

$=(5x)\times (\frac{7}{10})$

$=\frac{7x}{2}$

The black circles and black square are in the ratio 3:8

The number of black square is

$=(\textrm{The number of black shape})\times (\frac{8}{3+8})$

$=(11x)\times (\frac{8}{11})$

=8x

Therefore the total number of shape which are square is

$=\frac{7x}{2}+8x$

$=\frac{7x+16x}{2}$

$=\frac{23x}{2}$

The fraction of all shape are square is

$=\frac{\textrm{shape in square}}{\textrm{Total number shape}}$

$=\frac{\frac{23x}{2}}{16x}$

$=\frac{23}{32}$

Figure RST is reflected about the y-axis to obtain figure R’S’T’:

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping a graph keeps the figures size the same, so it isn't A. Flipping it doesn't rotate the angles either(R is equal to R', S to S' etc.), so the answer is B.

74$ for working 6 hours.what is the hourly pay rate in hours per dollar

fgiga [73]

Answer:

.081 hours per dollar

$12.333 dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm a bit confused whether you just want hours per dollar or also dollars per hour, so I'll answer both.

First, for the dollars per hour, you want to do 74 divided by 6 equals 12 1/3. So each hour you get paid $12.333

Fort the hours per dollar, you do 6 divided by 74 equals .081.
