Answer:

Lengths of second triangle are 15,20,25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One triangle side lengths = 6 , 8 ,10

Similar triangle perimeter =60

To Find:

Lengths of similar triangle = ?

Solution:

A similar triangle is a one in which there is a particular increase in lengths of the sides by a common ratio. This ratio is same for all the sides and by these the similar triangle is formed.

As Lengths are increased by a common ratio so the perimeter of the triangles which are similar will also increase by that

So for this problem if we find out the perimeter increase then we can find out sides

Now For 1st triangle whose sides are given

Lets its perimeter is perimeter 1

Now

Perimeter 1 =sum of length of all sides

                    = 6 + 8 +10

                    = 24

Now

Ratio = Perimeter of second triangle / Perimeter 1

         = 60 / 24

         = 2.5

So perimeter is increased by a factor of 2.5

We can find the length by multiplying each length of triangle 1 with this 2.5

Now Length of first side =  6*2.5

                                         = 15

Length of second side = 8 * 2.5

                                       =20

Length of third side = 10 * 2.5

                                  = 25

Lengths of second triangle are 15,20,25

the sales tax for an item was $30.10 and it cost $430 before tax. find the sale tax rate. write your answer as a percentage.
timurjin [86]
To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10  The sale tax rate is 7%.

Nathan needs some paint for his bedroom. He finds two cans of white paint, four cans of green paint and three cans of pink paint
horsena [70]

The probability of randomly selecting a can of pink paint is P = 1/3, so the correct option is A.

<h3>What is the chance that he will paint his bedroom pink?</h3>

Assuming that all the cans of paint have the same probability of being randomly selected, the probability that he will choose a pink can is equal to the quotient between the number of pink cans and the total number of cans.

There are 2 cans of white, 4 cans of green, and 3 cans of pink, so a total of 9 cans.

Then the probability is:

P = 3/9 = 1/3.

The correct option is A.

You are looking at two area rugs for your bedroom. One is a square with a side length of 6.3 feet. The other is a rectangle that
Dmitry [639]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Square Rug
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Length
Area = 6.3 x 6.3
Area = 39.69 ft²

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rectangle Rug
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width
Area = 4.8 x 8.2
Area = 39.36 ft²


39.69 ft²  is bigger than 29.36 ft², so the square rug is bigger.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The Square Rug covers a greater area
