In ∆ABC with m∠C = 90° the sides satisfy the ratio BC:AC:AB = 4:3:5. If the side with middle length is 12 cm, find: 1) The perim

eter of ∆ABC; 2) The area of ∆ABC; 3) The height to the hypotenuse.

*The side with the middle length is 12cm, therefore BC must be 12 cm

------------------------------------------------------------<span>
Ratio 
------------------------</span>---------------------------------<span>--
BC:AC:AB
  4 : 3 : 5

</span>-----------------------------------------------------------
<span>Find 1 share
</span>-----------------------------------------------------------<span>
Given that BC = 12 cm
4 shares = 12 cm
1 share = 12 ÷ 4 = 3cm

</span>-----------------------------------------------------------
Find AC (4 shares)
-----------------------------------------------------------<span>
3 shares = 3 x 3 = 9 cm
BC = 9cm

</span>-----------------------------------------------------------
<span>Find AB (5 shares)
</span>-----------------------------------------------------------<span>
5 shares = 5 x 3 = 15cm
AB = 15cm

</span>------------------------------------------------------------
Length
-----------------------------------------------------------
   BC   :  AC   :  AB
12cm  :  9cm : 15cm<span>

---------------------------------</span>---------------------------------<span>
Perimeter
</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
<span>12 + 9 + 15 = 36cm

</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
<span>Answer: The perimeter is 36cm
</span>------------------------------------------------------------------<span>

</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
<span>Area
</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
1/2 x 9 x 12 = 54cm²<span>

</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Area = 54cm²
------------------------------------------------------------------<span>

Given that the biggest ratio is AB
</span>⇒AB is the hypotenuse
AB = 15 cm

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Hypotenuse = AB = 15cm

(DO NOT ANSWER IN A LINK) (PLS ONLY ANSWER CORRECT) A function is defined by f (x) = 6 x + 1.5. What is f(2.5)?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

f(5) = 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 2.5 into f(x) , that is

f(2.5) = 6(2.5) + 1.5 = 15 + 1.5 = 16.5

When solving a 2 step inequality, when do you flip the inequality sign, i keep getting these questions wrong, pls help, i mark b
vaieri [72.5K]
You flip the signs when you are dividing by a negative value.
-2x+3>15
-2x>15-3
-2x>12
x<12/-2
x<-6
Now to test this
Try putting x in the original equation when it is -5.
-2(-5)+3>15
10+3>15
13>15
This is false because our answer says x is less than -6.
Now any value less than -6 will work so let's go with -7.
-2(-7)+3>15
14+3>15
17>15
This result is True.
Hope this helps out!

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is option D i.e 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation:

Variation problems involve fairly simple relationships or formulas, involving one variable being equal to one term. There are two types of variation i.e.

  1. Direct variation
  2. Inverse variation

Direct Variation:

Mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other.

Example y=kx

where, k  is constant of proportionality.

The above given example is of Direct Variation

∴ y = 5 x

∴ k = 5 = constant of proportionality.

Inverse Variation:

Mathematical relationship between two variables which can be expressed by an equation in which the product of two variables is equal to a constant.

Example yx=k

where, k  is constant of proportionality.
