Two sides of a square are divided into fourths and another side of the square is trisected, as shown. A triangle is formed by co

nnecting three of these points, as shown. What is the ratio of the area of the shaded triangle to the area of the square? Express your answer as a fraction.

<h3>Answer:  3/8</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's say this is a 1 by 1 square. The area is 1*1 = 1 square unit. Whatever the area of the triangle is, we divide it over 1 and it will yield the same value as the area of the triangle. In other words, the area of the triangle will be the answer.

Along the top we have 3 ticks to indicate the top segment has been cut into 3+1 = 4 equal parts. The horizontal distance from the the vertical side of the triangle to the peak of the triangle is 3/4 units. This is because we travel 3 ticks out of 4 total. So this is the height when we consider the vertical segment of the triangle to be the base.

The base is 1 unit as it spans the original square's side length

base = 1

height = 3/4

area of triangle = (1/2)*(base*height)

area of triangle = (1/2)*(1*3/4)

area of triangle = 3/8

ratio of triangle area to square area = (triangle area)/(square area)

ratio of triangle area to square area = (3/8)/1

<h3>ratio of triangle area to square area = 3/8</h3>

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

let side of square=x

Area of a square =x^2

height of a triangle= 3x/4  ( 4/4=1/4) since height is only 3x/4 from the square)

( base =x same side as a square)

Area of a triangle=1/2 bh=1/2(x*3x/4)= 3x^2/8

the ratio of shaded triangle to the area= (3x^2/8)/x^2=3x^2/8x^2=3/8

Strike441 [17]
The answer is a.
When you are solving problems like this you would use the equation y^2=4ax. The x and Y would be the coordinates. Based on the equation you have given the coordinates would be (6,12) and (6,-12), (24 is split up evenly between the y-axis).  
Then we go on to solve the equation by plugging in the numbers 12^2=4a(6)
144=24a
144/24=24a/24
6=a

10 points plz help me
lord [1]

Answer:

First drawing - answer is:  D: DG, FG and DE

Second drawing - answer is:  π (pi)

Third drawing - answer is:  70° ( If you mean on measure of central angle which is corresponing to the arc CB)

Fourth drawing - answer is: y=55° ( If you mean that the value of angle ∠AOB=70° )

Step-by-step explanation:

For the second drawing

arc AB = (r · π / 180) · α = (3 · π/180) · 60 = (180 · π) / 180 = π

For the third drawing

∠CAB is peripheral angle of the central angle ∠CFB.

∠CFB= 2·∠CAB= 2· 35° = 70°

Good luck!!!

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation 49x^2=9?
Flauer [41]
<span>Simplifying 49x^2 + -9 = 0
Reorder the terms: -9 + 49x^2 = 0
Solving -9 + 49x^2 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '9' to each side of the equation. -9 + 9 + 49x^2 = 0 + 9
Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0 0 + 49x^2 = 0 + 9 49x^2 = 0 + 9
Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9 49x^2 = 9
Divide each side by '49'. x^2 = 0.1836734694
Simplifying x^2 = 0.1836734694
Take the square root of each side: x = {-0.428571429, 0.428571429}

hope this helps!!</span>
