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

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (–5, 1)? Check all that ap
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Hello!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2x+5y=10

We want to turn this equation into y=mx+b form:

5y=-2x+10

Divide both sides by 5:

y=-2/5x+2

Now, the equation of the line parallel to it:

Remember, parallel lines have the same slope.

So these two lines have the same slope (-2/5)

Now, use Point-Slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y=1=-2/5(x-(-5)

y-1=-2/5(x+5)

y-1=-2/5x-2

y=-2/5x-2+1

y=-2/5-1

Hence, this is the required solution. I hope you find it helpful!

Simplifying is basically 1 + 1, so the answer is 2, or 8/4 whichever you prefer. 
It can also be 4/2, or 2/1...

Simplify
melomori [17]

Answer: 4\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the following:

i=\sqrt{-1} \\\\i^2=-1

Given the following expression:

-2i\sqrt{-12}

You can notice that the radicand (the number inside the square root) is negative. Therefore, in order to simplify the expression, you need to follow these steps:

1. Replace \sqrt{-1} with i and simplify:

(-2i)(i)\sqrt{12}=-2i^2\sqrt{12}=-2(-1)\sqrt{12}=2\sqrt{12}

2. Descompose 12 into its prime factors:

12=2*2*3=2^2*3

3. Substitute into the expression:

=2\sqrt{2^2*3}

4. Since \sqrt[n]{a^n}=a, you can simplify it:

=(2)(2)\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}
