We know that
15 1/4 acres-----------> (15*4+1)/4-----> 61/4 acres
[<span>number of lots]=(61/4)/(2/3)----> (61*3)/(4*2)---> 183/8----> 22.875
22.785-----> 22 7/8
we know that
7/8--------> multiply by 3-------> 21/24
2/3-------> multiply by 8-------> 16/24
21/24-16/24-------> 5/24
so
22 7/8 is equals to--------> 22 21/24----> 22 (16/24+5/24)
t</span><span>he maximum number of lots that can be created are 22+1-----> 23 lots
</span><span>and there is a remnant of 5/24</span>
The triangles are similar by AAA so make ratios and solve
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a Triangle is the sum of it's 3 sides.
We are given two sides here which is side length 5.6 and a side of length 19.7
Let's us represent the third side as x
Therefore
x + 19.7 + 5.6 = Perimeter of the triangle
We would have this equation
But it is important to know that every side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the other two sides, hence
x < 19.7 + 5.6
x < 25.3
Adding 25.3 to both sides to make the left side equal to the perimeter
perimeter = x+25.3 < 25.3 + 25.3 = 50.6
Therefore, 50.6 is the smallest whole number that is larger than the perimeter of the triangle in the question above.
Therefore, the biggest whole number smaller than the perimeter of the above triangle is 50
