How does tripling the side lengths of a right triangle affect its area?)

Mathematics

Furkat [3]3 years ago

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The area would increase 6 times

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>The area of the triangle can be calculated as follows:</u>

area = \frac{1}{2} * base * height

<u>Tripling the side lengths of a right triangle would mean that:</u>

new base = 3 * base

new height = 3 * height

<u>Substitute with the new values in the equation:</u>

new area = \frac{1}{2} * 3 * base * 3 * height

new area = 6 (\frac{1}{2} * base * height)

<u>Comparing the new area with the original one</u>, we can conclude that by tripling the side lengths of the right triangle, the area of the triangle will increase 6 times.

Hope this helps :)

The area of the triangle will then be 9 times as great. 

The formula of the area of a triangle is 1/2bh, so if the base has been tripled and the height has been tripled, you're essentially multiplying 3 to the original equation twice (3 x 3 = 9).

How to find the area of a circle:

The area of a circle can be found by multiplying pi ( π = 3.14) by the square of the radius
If a circle has a radius of 4, its area is 3.14*4*4=50.24
If you know the diameter, the radius is 1/2 as large.

GAMING In a video game, the user navigates a character across an unknown land using a map. On the map, the distance between the
soldi70 [24.7K]

The question is an illustration of scale drawing

The character have to travel 8.5 km in the game to visit all three destinations and return to their starting point

<h3>How to calculate the actual distance</h3>

The distance on the map are given as:

A =2 cm

B = 8 cm

C = 7 cm

The total distance on the map would be:

Total =2cm + 8cm + 7cm

Total =17cm

The actual distance between the store and the dungeon is 4 kilometers.

This means that:

B' =4km

So, we have:

Scale = B : B'

Scale = 8cm : 4km'

Represent the required actual distance with x.

So, we have:

17cm : x = 8cm : 4km

Express as fraction

\frac{x}{17} = \frac 48

Multiply both sides by 17

x = \frac 48 * 17

x = 8.5

Hence, the actual distance travelled is 8.5 km
