Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, By the given diagram,
The side of the inner square = Distance between the points (0,b) and (a-b,0)
Thus the area of the inner square = (side)²
Now, the side of the outer square = Distance between the points (0,0) and (a,0),
Thus, the area of the outer square = (side)²
Hence, the ratio of the area of the inner square to the area of the outer square
To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15.
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.
Hope I helped!
Uhhhh I don't think that the correct answer.
First, find the gradient of the line segment.
Gradient = Rise/Run = (2-6)/(2-5) = 4/3.
Since the other line segment is parallel to this line segment, their gradients are the same.
That means (-2+4)/(x-5) = 4/3.
2/(x-5) = 4/3
It is obvious x = 6.5
The answer you are looking for is A, I'm a little rusts at these but that should your answer have a good day!
