A triangle has an area of 36 cm². The base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.

1 answer:

4 0

Triangle Area = .5 * (base * height)
36 = (base * height) / 2
So let's say base = 9 height 8
If base and height are scaled by a factor if 5 than
base = 45 height 40 and
area = .5 * (45 * 40)
area = 900

Basically, the area increases by a factor of 25.
The base increases by 5 and the height increases by 5 so the area increases by 5*5 = 25

Answer: The value of x is 5.970.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The square has sides length of X cm.

Let r be the radius of the circle.

The square fits exactly inside a circle with each of the vertices being on the circumference of the circle.

Then diagonal of square = diameter of circle

i.e. $\sqrt{2}x= 2r$ [Diagonal of square = $\sqrt{2}$ (side)]

i.e. $r=\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{2}}$

area of circle = $\pi r^2$

i.e. $56=\frac{22}{7}(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}})^2$

$56=\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{x^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2= \dfrac{7}{11}\times56\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=35.636\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\sqrt{35.636}\approx5.970$
