Answer: the perimeter of the larger triangle is 22 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of both triangles is shown in the attached photo. The isosceles triangles are triangle ABC and triangle DEF

Perimeter of triangle ABC = 11

For an isosceles triangle, the other two sides are equal. If one equal side is x, then the sum of the two equal sides is x+x = 2x

Perimeter of triangle = sum of the lengths of the 3 sides. Therefore,

11 = 5 + 2x

2x = 11-5 = 6

x = 6/2 = 3

The base of the similar triangle is 10. It means that it is 2 times the base of the smaller triangle. That means the scale factor is 2. Therefore,

If the perimeter of the small triangle is 11, the Perimeter of the larger triangle will be 2 × perimeter of the smaller triangle. This becomes

2 × 11 = 22 units.

It can also be determined by adding the length of each side

3×2 + 3×2 + 5×2 = 6+6+10 = 22 units

If u(x) = x^5 – x^4 + x^2 and v(x) = –x^2, which expression is equivalent to (u/v)(x)?
Effectus [21]
Hello: 
x^5 – x^4 + x^2 =x^2(x^3 - x^2 +1)
(u/v)(x)= x^2(x^3 - x^2 +1)/(-x^2)
(u/v)(x)= - (x^3 - x^2 +1) = -x^3+x^2-1    (  x :  no zero)

Answer: 47 students

Step-by-step explanation:

430 students went on a trip with the majority of them going on buses.

7 students however, had to use cars.

The number of students who used buses are:

The number of students in each bus is:

= No. of students taking buses / no. of buses

= 423 / 9 buses

= 47 students
