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

Given ΔABC with A(–4, –2), B(4, 4), and C(18, –8), write the equation for the line containing median segment The term is line se
Monica [59]
Here we want to find the equation of the line containing the median CP.

P, being the midpoint of AB can be found using the midpoint formula as:

\displaystyle{ P=( \frac{-4+4}{2} ,  \frac{-2+4}{2} )=(0, 1).


The slope m of the line through CP can be found by the slope formula using points C(18, -8) and P(0, 1):

\displaystyle{ m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{-8-1}{18-0}= \frac{-9}{18}= \frac{-1}{2}.


Now, we can write the equation of the line with slope -1/2, passing through
P(0, 1):

y-1= \frac{-1}{2}(x-0)\\\\y= -\frac{1}{2}x+1.


Answer: y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1

Nutka1998 [239]

We have been given that The boston celtics have won 16 nba championships over approximately 50 years. Therefore, it can be concluded that in any given year the probability of celtics winning the title will be p = 16/50 = 0.32

For Celtics to win eight straight championships in 1959, we will be required to multiply the probability of winning championship in one year to itself 8 times.

Therefore, the required probability is:

0.32^{8}=0.0001099511627776

Therefore, the required probability is almost 0.00011.
