The answer is 5/4 in

The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
      = 96 in

The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 94 in + 3/4 in

The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in

Julia was creating similar triangles in the coordinate plane. The first triangle had a rise of 3 and a run of 10. The second tri
valina [46]

Yes julia is correct the run of the scond similar triangle will be b2=25.

<h3>What are simlilar traingles?</h3>

The similar triangle are those whose three sides or one angle or two sides or two angles one side are equal.

In the given:

Height of first triangle h=3

Base of first traingle =10

Height of second triangle =7.5

The base of second triangle b2 = ?

From the triangle similarity

\dfrac{h_1}{b_1}=\dfrac{h_2}{b_2}

\dfrac{3}{10}=\dfrac{7.5}{b_2}

b_2=\dfrac{7.5\times 10}{3}

b_2=25

Thus julia is correct the run of the scond similar triangle will be b2=25.

After *triangle* ACE is dilated by a factor of 5, It has an area of 100 square inches. What was its area before dilation?
Anarel [89]
<h3>Answer:  4 square inches</h3>

Explanation:

Square the linear scale factor to get 5^2 = 25

This means that,

new area = 25*(old area)

We take this idea in reverse to find the old area

old area = (new area)/25

old area = (100 sq inches)/25

old area = 4 square inches
