Answer: The altitude of the smaller triangle is 14.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Two similar triangles have a scale factor of 3:5. This can also be expressed as 3/5

The altitude of the larger triangle is 24 inches. The difference in altitude or other lengths of the two similar triangles is linear. To determine the altitude of the smaller triangle, let us assign x to the altitude of the smaller triangle. It means that 3:5 = x : 24. Therefore

3/5 = x/24

Cross multiplying, it becomes

5x = 3×24 = 72

x = 72/5 = 14.4

For this question, we have to find x.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

x=26°

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+(x-2)=180 (because together they form a straight angle which is 180°)

solve:

6x+x-2=180

7x-2=180

7x=182

x=26

What are the x and y intercepts of 4x-5y=100?
BARSIC [14]
X-intercept = 25.
y-intercept = -20.

To find the x or y intercept you're trying to find the point in which the line crosses that particular axis. In other words, you would want to find what x equals when y is zero and what y equals when x is zero.

- 4(0)-5y=100 : 5y=100, 100/5= 20, y-intercept = -20

- 4x-5(0)=100 : 4x=100, 100/4= 25, x-intercept = 25

- x-intercept is (25,0) ; y-intercept is (0,-20)

olganol [36]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Sales of the chocolate ice cream is 45%, 30% for strawberry and 25% (100%-45%-30%) of vanilla.

Percentages of cone sales for chocolate, strawberry and vanilla are 75%, 60% and 40%respectively.

A. Probability chocolate chosen: 45%=0.45

B. Probability strawberry chosen: 30%=0.30

C. Probability vanilla chosen:25%=0.25

D. Probability ice cream on a cone: 75%×45%+60%×30%+40%×25%

                                                          =0.75×0.45+0.60×0.30+0.40×0.25

                                                          =0.3375+0.18+0.1

                                                          =0.6175

E. Probability ice cream in a cup: 1- Probability ice cream in a cone

                                                     =1-0.6175

                                                     =0.3825

Probability that the ice cream sold on a cone and was strawberry flavoured is : 30%×60%

=0.30×0.60

=0.18
