The area of the larger triangle is \boxed{49{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}} and the area of the smaller triangle is \boxed{16{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}}.

Further explanation:

Given:

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4:7.

Explanation:

If triangles are similar then the ratio of the areas is equal to the square ratio of corresponding sides as well as the square of the perimeter.

Assume that the area of larger triangle as Q.

Assume that the area of smaller triangle as P.

The given ratio of the perimeters of the triangle is 4:7.

The ratio of the areas of the larger and smaller triangle can be expressed as follows,

\begin{aligned}\frac{{{\text{Area of smaller triangle}}}}{{{\text{Area of larger triangle}}}} &= \frac{{{{\left( {{\text{Perimeter of smaller triangle}}} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {{\text{Perimeter of larger triangle}}} \right)}^2}}}\\\frac{{\text{P}}}{{\text{Q}}} &= \frac{{{4^2}}}{{{7^2}}}\\\frac{{\text{P}}}{{\text{Q}}} &= \frac{{16}}{{49}} \\ {\text{49P}} &= {\text{16Q}}\\\end{aligned}

The sum of area of larger triangle and the area of smaller triangle is 65{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}.

\begin{aligned}{\text{P}} + {\text{Q}}&= 65\\{\text{Q}}& = 65 - {\text{P}}\\\end{aligned}

Now, substitute 65 - P for Q in equation 49P = 16Q.

\begin{aligned}49{\text{P}} &= 16{\text{Q}}\\49{\text{P}} &= 16 \times \left( {65 - {\text{P}}} \right)\\49{\text{P}} &= 16 \times 65 - 16{\text{P}}\\49{\text{P}} + 16{\text{P}} &= 16 \times 65\\65{\text{P}} &= 16 \times 65\\{\text{P}} &= \frac{{16 \times 65}}{{65}}\\{\text{P}} &= 16{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}\\\end{aligned}

The area of larger triangle can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Q}} &= 65 - {\text{P}}\\&= 65 - 16\\&= 49{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}\\\end{aligned}

The area of the larger triangle is \boxed{49{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}} and the area of the smaller triangle is \boxed{16{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}}.

Answer:

  16 cm^2 and 49 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions, so is ...

  (4/7)^2 = 16/49

The sum of these "ratio units" is 16 +49 = 65. The sum of triangle areas is 65 cm^2, so each "ratio unit" must stand for 1 cm^2 of area. That is, the triangles must have areas of ...

  • 16 cm^2
  • 49 cm^2

8x-5y=21 simultaneous linear equation<br>2x+9y=-5
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

x=2 and y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two equations are given, we can solve one of the equation in terms of single variable and put it in the other equation which will further give the value of x and y.

For the given equations:

8x-5y=21              Equation:1

2x+9y=-5             Equation:2

Solving equation multiply equation 2 with 4 on both the sides

8x+36y=-20        Equation 3

Subtracting Equation:3 from Equation:1

8x-5y-(8x+36y)=21-(-20)\\8x-5y-8x-36y=21+20\\-41y=41\\y=-1

Putting value of 'y' in Equation:2 which will give the value of x

2x+9y=-5\\2x+9(-1)=-5\\2x-9=-5\\2x=4\\x=2
