Greetings from Brasil...
According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation
X = 7 + 3Y i
X + Y = 75 ii
So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i
X = 7 + 3Y
- X - Y = - 75
- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75
4Y = 68
Y = 17
for X we will use ii:
X + Y = 75
X + 17 = 75
X = 58
The smaller number is: 17
Answer:
Per2 = 102.727 dm
Per1 = 123.272 dm
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of similar triangles are related to the square of their perimeters.
This means that
(Per1^2)/(Per2^2) = Area1 / Area2
If we take the square root of the previous equation
(Per1)/(Per2) =
(Per1)/(Per2) =
(Per1)/(Per2) = 1.2
We also know that
Per1 + Per2 = 226 dm
So,
1.2*Per2 + Per2 = 226 dm
2.2*Per2 = 226 dm
Per2 = 102.727 dm
Per1 = 1.2*Per2 = 123.272 dm
