Answer:
Option A: P ≈ 38.7 in, A ≈ 63.7 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that △MNO ~△DEF. This means that they are similar triangles.
We can solve for this using scale factor.
a) Perimeter of △MNO
The scale factor of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the perimeter of the triangles
Scale factor(k) = ratio of the sides of the triangles
In the diagram we are given
Side of △MNO = 6.7in
Side of △DEF = 9in
Perimeter of △MNO = X
Perimeter of △DEF = 52in
Scale factor (k) = 6.7/9
Hence,
6.7/ 9 = X/52
Cross Multiply
9X = 6.7 × 52
X = 6.7 × 52/9
X = 38.711111111 inches
To the nearest tenth, Perimeter of △MNO = 38.7 inches
b) Area of △MNO
The square of the scale factor of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of area of the triangles
Scale factor(k) = ratio of the sides of the triangles
In the diagram we are given
Side of △MNO = 6.7in
Side of △DEF = 9in
Area of △MNO = Y
Area of △DEF = 115in²
Scale factor (k) = 6.7/9
Hence,
(6.7/ 9)² = Y/115
6.7²/9² = Y / 115
Cross Multiply
9² × Y = 6.7² × 115
Y = 6.7²× 115 /9²
Y = 63.732716049 square inches
To the nearest tenth, Area of △MNO = 63.7 in²
Answer:
1⅙ gal
Step-by-step explanation:
⅔ × ⁷/₄ Cancel 2s
= ⅓ × ⁷/₂ Multiply numerators and denominators
= ⁷/₆ Convert to a mixed number
= 1⅙
The container holds 1⅙ gal when it is ⅔ full.
Answer:
step by step below.
Step-by-step explanation:
after subtracting the 2x, youd have 3x on the right side. and they you would want to get the numbers on one side, so subract the 3 to the left side. and then you would have -11.
solve for x if necessary
The geometric means between 12 and 9 is 10.3923
