There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.
It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.
Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle
base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)
Plug in the numbers
x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5
The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm
Answer:
Answer should be 5/2 I thinkkkkk
Answer:
3rd answer down
Step-by-step explanation:
ok so you take the median of all the #'s which turns out to be 126.5 and that is where your bar should point to in the box, then you should start with 105, and your last bit of the line should end at 150, the start of your box should start at the median of 105 and 117, and the end of your box should stop at the median of 145 and 150.
