Answer with step-by-step explanation:
The way the question is worded, this actually shouldn't be correct. The correct answer should be 
.
Because the trapezoids are similar, we can find the ratio of their perimeters by actually just finding the ratio of their sides.
Why?
By definition, the corresponding sides of a polygon are in a constant proportion. The perimeter is simply the sum of all sides of the polygon. Since we're just adding the sides, the proportion will still be maintained.
Therefore, we'll just need to ratio of their corresponding sides. The only two corresponding sides that are marked are 
and 
.
The ratio of 
is 
.
The reason why it ideally should be and not 
is because the question states 
, which mentions 
first, so our answer should follow this respective order. I believe you were marked right anyways because the specific order is not specified, but generally, you want to give your answer respectively by default.
Answer:
300 points
Step-by-step explanation:
160 + 20 = 180
180 would have been 60 percent
180/60 = 300
300 would have been needed to pass
Proven by:
300 * 60% = 180
180 - 20 = 160
If you wanted to compute for your budget for natural gas
this month using the data you have recorded about your consumption of natural gas
for the past four months, the best estimate to be budgeted this month would be
the average consumption for the past 4 months. To get the average, you have to
add the four numbers and divide it by four.
$112
+ $108 + $99 + $89 = $408/4 = $102
