Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the costs of washer and dryer be x and y dollars respectively.

Therefore, according to the given conditions:

x + y = $856...... (1)

and

x = y - 44.... (2)

From equations (1) & (2)

y - 44 + y = 856

2y = 856 + 44

2y = 900

y = 900/2

y = $450

Thus the cost of dryer is $450.

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4:7. What is the area of each of these triangles if the sum of their are

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The area of triangles are 16 cm^2 and 49 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the smaller triangle in square centimeters

y ----> the area of the larger triangle in square centimeters

we know that

$z=\frac{4}{7}$

$\frac{x}{y}=z^2$

$\frac{x}{y}=(\frac{4}{7})^2$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{16}{49}$

$x=\frac{16}{49}y$ -----> equation A

$x+y=65$ ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

$\frac{16}{49}y+y=65$

solve for y

$\frac{65}{49}y=65$

$y=49\ cm^2$

Find the value of x

$x=\frac{16}{49}(49)$

$x=16\ cm^2$

therefore

The area of triangles are 16 cm^2 and 49 cm^2
