If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal. When the three angle pairs are all equal, the three pairs of sides must also be in proportion.
hope this helps :)
Area = Area of rectangle + area of semicircle
Area of rectangle = 5 x 1 = 5 m^2
area of semicircle = πD²/8 = 3.14 x 5² / 8 = 9. 8125
Area = 5 + 9.8125 = 14.8125 m^2
The ratio House blend/Organic Free Trade blend is the same and must remain the same.
So, the proportion is:
Where x is the unknown amount of the Organic Free Trade blend.
So, from the proportion, we have:
Answer: 156 pounds of Organic Free Trade blend
The 9-sided polygon will have a central angle between the vertex and the center of one side of 360°/(2*9) = 20°. Then the apothem is
a = (6 in/2)*cot(20°) ≈ 8.242432 in
The perimeter is 9*6 in = 54 in, so the area is
A = (1/2)Pa = (1/2)*(54 in)*(8.242432 in) ≈ 222.5 in²
