Draw two triangles. label the legs 10 in and 24 in on the first.
On the second note that the longest side of a right triangle is the hypotenuse, and label the hypotenuse 39, and a leg 36 in.

Since the triangle are similar, all the sides will be in direct proportion to each other.

36/24 = 1.5  so the second triangle has side lengths that are 1.5 times longer than the first. 1.5 x 10 = 15

the shortest side of the second right triangle is 15 in.

If the two shortest sides of the triangle are 10in and 24in, then using Pythagoras' theorem, the longest side =
\sqrt{10^2 + 24^2} 
= \sqrt{676}
= 26

Now we know the two longest sides of the first triangle (24in and 26in) we can compare them with the two longest sides of the second triangle.
If x = the scale factor the first triangle is enlarged by then
26x = 39 and 24x = 36 
⇒ x = 1.5

Finally, we need to multiply the smallest side of the first triangle by the scale factor to find the shortest side of the second triangle.
10(1.5) = 15
So the length of the shortest side of the other triangle is 15in.

You could, instead, calculate the length of the shortest side of the second triangle by using Pythagoras' theorem and ignoring the first triangle completely.

Simplify 31/2+1/8 I don't know how to do it
storchak [24]
When adding fractions, you want the denominators to be the same number, so you have to multiply 31/2 by four for the numerator and denominator by 4 to have the denominators to both be 8. So the fraction on the left will be 124/8 + 1/8 =129/8. That fraction is in its simplest form.

Find the area of each figure below
Ugo [173]

Answer:

25. 27a^{3}b^{2}

26. 3\pi x^{3}y

Step-by-step explanation:

For 25:

A = \frac{a+b}{2} h  (area of a trapezoid)

A=\frac{11a^{2}b+7a^{2}b}{2} *3ab  (substitute terms)

= \frac{18a^{2}b}{2}*3ab  (collect like terms)

= 9a^{2}b*3ab  (reduce the fraction by crossing out 2)

= 27a^{3}b^{2}  (calculate)

For 26:

A=\pi r^{2}  (equation of area of a circle)

A=\pi (3x^{3} y)^{2}  (enter the radius)

= 3\pi x^{3} y  (communtative property to reorder the terms)

Question 1
zhannawk [14.2K]

The applications that will involve percentages include:

  • Sales Tax
  • Original Sale Price
  • Commission
  • Income Tax

<h3>Which applications involve percentages?</h3>

Sales tax will involve percentage because the sales tax percentage will be needed to calculate the sales tax. The same goes for the income tax.

Commissions also involve percentages as the commission is a percentage of sales. The original sales price can only be acquired by using the discount or markup percentage applied to it to get the current sales price.
