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).

Indicate whether x and y show direct variation. <br> 3 + y = 5x
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Let's understand the solution in detail.

Explanation:

Given: 5x = 3y

We can rearrange it as y = 5x / 3

Hence, we see that y ∝ x, and the equation is of the form y = kx, where k is the proportionality constant. This denotes that y varies directly with x.

Here k = 5 / 3.

Hence, the equation represents a direct variation, and the constant of variation is k = 5 / 3.

O COUNTING AND PROBABILITY
valina [46]

Answer:

a. Odds = \frac{3}{7}

b. Odds = \frac{7}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n(Black) = 7

n(Grey) = 2

n(White) = 1

n(Total) = 10

Solving (a): Odds against winning

Since, the arrow must stop at black, then

The odds against winning is calculated as thus:

Odds = \frac{n(Total) - n(Black)}{n(Black)}

Odds = \frac{10 - 7}{7}

Odds = \frac{3}{7}

Solving (b): Odds in favor of winning

Since, the arrow must stop at black, then

The odds is calculated as thus:

Odds = \frac{n(Black)}{n(Total) - n(Black)}

Odds = \frac{7}{10 - 7}

Odds = \frac{7}{3}

Sam and Janet each have a whole number of dollars, and $\frac13$ of Sam's money equals $\frac12$ of Janet's money. Together, the
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sam's Money =s

Let Janet's Money =j

$\frac13$ of Sam's money equals $\frac12$ of Janet's money.

Let n be the number of dollars held by Sam and Jane respectively

Therefore: $n=\frac13s=\frac12j$

s=3n

j=2n

s+j=3n+2n=5n

Together, they have more than $10

Therefore:

5n>10

n>2

The least sum they could have is at n=3

At n=3

s+j=5n=5X3=$15

The least number of dollars they could have combined is $15.
