Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)

1. x/8=5/16

You first start by multiplying x and 16

Then multiply 5 and 8

So now you have 16x=40

Finally divide 16 from each side

You get: x+0.4!

2. 5/12=15/x

Remember to cross-multiply!

Now we have 5x=180

Next divide 5 from each side

You get: x=36!

The area of a triangle is 14 square units it has a side length of a and b what is the value of b if a is 1/5
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

140 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area= 14 square feet

Height a = 1/5 ft

Base b=????

We know that the area of a triangle is given as

Area= (1/2)B*H

substitute

14= 1/2* B* 1/5

14= B/10

cross multiply

B= 140

 

Hence the base is 140 ft

What is the cross section shown below?
goldenfox [79]
<h3>Answer: Choice A) circle</h3>

Explanation:

Imagine that white rectangle as a blade that cuts the cylinder as the diagram shows. If you pull the top cylinder off and examine the bottom of that upper piece, then you'll see a circle forms. It's congruent to the circular face of the original cylinder. This is because the cutting plane is parallel to both base faces of the cylinder. Any sort of tilt will make an ellipse form. Keep in mind that any circle is an ellipse, but not vice versa.

Another example of a cross section: cut an orange along its center and notice that a circle (more or less) forms showing the inner part of the orange.

Yet another example of a cross section: Imagine an egyptian pyramid cut from the top most point on downward such that you vertically slice it in half. If you pull away one half, you should see a triangular cross section forms.

What is x-2y=3 in slope intercept form
Gennadij [26K]

So firstly, subtract x on both sides: -2y=-x+3


Next, divide -2 on both sides, and your answer will be y = 1/2x - 3/2 , or the last option.
