Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio  refers to 15 units

Divide 15 by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio

15 ÷ 3 = 5 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 × 5 = 20 units ← perimeter of larger figure

Answer: The answer is 20 units

Step-by-step explanation: The question stipulates that two figures have their sides in the ratio of 4:3.

This implies that for every side in the smaller figure, the corresponding side in the larger figure measures times 4/3 (that is, divided by 3 and then multiplied by 4)

Therefore if for example, one side in the smaller figure measures 9 units, then the corresponding side in the larger figure would measure

9 * 4/3.

However, if the corresponding side is represented by x for example, then

9/x = 3/4. (This makes the ratio of the left hand side equal to that on the right hand side)

By cross multiplication you now have

9(4) = 3x

36 = 3x

Divide both sides of the equation by 3, and you have

x equals 12.

Hence, if the perimeter of the smaller figure is 15 units, the perimeter of the larger figure would be calculated as

Perimeter of larger figure

15/x = 3/4

By cross multiplication you now have

15(4) = 3x

60 = 3x

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

20 = x

Therefore the perimeter of the larger figure is 20 units

Show that each of these conditional statements is a tautology by using truth tables. a) [¬p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q b) [(p → q) ∧ (q → r)
nlexa [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

To show that a statement is a tautology using truth table - is to show that all the entries in the expression are truths T.

We can do this by taking each statement, expression by expression. For example, to show that

[~p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q

is a tautology, knowing we have 3 columns, we have 2^3 = 8 rows. We start by putting putting truth values for p, q, and r respectively

Next, we find ~p, then find (p ∨ q), then find ~p ∧ (p ∨ q), before finally arriving at the required [~p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q

TERMINOLOGIES AND SYMBOLS

- T means Truth

- F means False

- ~p means negation of p.

~p is F if p is T, and vice versa

- ∧ means conjunction.

p ∧ q is T only if p is T and q is T.

- ∨ means disjunction.

p ∨ q is T if either p or q is T.

- → is for conditional 'if then'

p → q is T if both p and q are T, or both p and q are F, or p is F and q is T, otherwise, it is F.
