For this item, I will assume that we are required to give the area of the dilated triangle. By dilated we mean to say that the dimensions of the second triangle is 6 times that of the first. We square 6 and them multiply this to the area of the original triangle to get the area of the second. That is,
area of second triangle = (2/3 cm²)(6²) = 24 cm²
Thus, the area of the new triangle is equal to 24 cm².
I do not see anything wrong with it
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8
so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6
Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2
