The ratio of sides is, 8:10 = 4:5
squaring it yields, 16:25
the ratio of the area is 16:25

Answer:

The ratio of the areas is $\frac{16}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

if two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

and

the scale factor is equal to the ratio of its corresponding sides

Let

z------> the scale factor

In this problem we have

$z=\frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5}$ -------> scale factor

The ratio of the areas is equal to

$z^{2}=(\frac{4}{5})^{2}=\frac{16}{25}$

Fill in the missing term in the equation

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the LHS so it can be equated to the RHS.

$\frac{x}{x^{2} -4x+4} - \frac{x}{x^{2} -3x+2}$

$\frac{x}{(x-2)^{2} } - \frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)}$

$\frac{x(x-1)-x(x-2)}{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

$\frac{x^{2} -x-x^{2}+2x }{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

$\frac{x}{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

Hence, the missing term in the numerator of the answer is x

Break it into squared and rectangles and find the area of those first then add it all together

For your square you would get 16 ft squared

For your rectangle you would get 32 ft squared

For your other rectangle you would get 32 ft squared as well

Then add those all together to get the full answer

80 ft squared

Hope this helps :)

Simplify each expression as much as possible, and rationalize denominators when applicable. √18x/(3√x^5)=?

Anni [7]

Answer:

(√2)/x²

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{18x}}{3\sqrt{x^5}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{18x}{9x^5}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{x^4}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{x^2}$

_____

Or, maybe you mean ...

$\dfrac{\sqrt{18}x}{3\sqrt{x^5}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{18x^2}{9x^5}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2x}{x^4}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2x}}{x^2}$
