Since all squares are similar, then the ratio of one square’s side to perimeter is proportional to any other’s. If the side of a

square of fabric is 2 yards, then the perimeter is 8 yards. Use a proportion to determine the perimeter of a square with a side 9 yards long. Write your final answer in a complete sentence.

You are told that a square with a side of 2 yards has a perimeter of 8 yards. So we can think of it as side/perimeter = 2/8.

You are also reminded that all squares are similar (they have the same shape, their corresponding angles are congruent and their sides are in proportion) and that as such if we compare the ration of their side to their perimeter (side/perimeter) it is always the same. We know it will be 2/8.

We can use a proportion (two fractions set equal to each other) to highlight the ratio of the sides to the perimeter. It is:

\frac{side}{perimeter} = \frac{2}{8}

Now you are asked to find the perimeter of a square whose side is 9yards using this proportion. You can do this by replacing the word "side" with 9 and solving for perimeter. To make it easier let's write p for perimeter. We get:

\frac{9}{p} = \frac{2}{8}

Recall that proportions can be solved by cross multiplying. So let's cross-multiply and solve for p.

\frac{9}{p} = \frac{2}{8}
2p=72
p=36

Therefore the perimeter is 36 yards.

The perimeter is 36 yd.

We set up a proportion to represent this situation.  We know that the ratio of the side to the perimeter is the same for every square.  This means that the ratio of the first square, 2/8 is the same for the second one.  We know that the side length is 9, which gives us:

2/8 = 9/x

Cross multiply:
2*x = 8*9
2x = 72

Divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 = 72/2
x = 36

The numbers 1 through 15 are written on cards. One card is chosen at random. Event A is choosing a
lana [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability is always the number of desired cases over the number of all possible cases.

in our situation we have 15 cards.

that is the total possible cases when a random card is chosen.

how many desired cases do we have ?

a number NOT a multiple of 5.

how many are there ?

it is easier to say how many numbers there are being a multiple of 5 : 5, 10, 15

so, 3 numbers out of the 15 are multiple of 5.

that means

15 - 3 = 12 numbers of the 15 are NOT multiples of 5.

so, the probability to draw a card that is not a multiple of 5 is

12/15 = 4/5 = 0.8

the information about event B and even numbers is irrelevant for the question.

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the ages of people at a family reunion.
klio [65]

Answer:

1) 11

2) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) It is 11 because in the first row we ignore the 0 since it is referring to the first digit, so the first row has 7. In the second row, we ignore the one so it would be 4 because the 9, or would be 19, is above 18.

2) It is 4 because there is one person over 65. In the second row we ignore the 7 and there are 3 people in the 7 row.
