Answer: 25</h3>
Through using the pythagorean theorem, you should find the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle to be 10 units. Therefore, the perimeter of the smaller triangle is 6+8+10 = 24 units.
The perimeter of the larger triangle is 60 units. The ratio here is 24:60 = 2:5
Meaning that the larger perimeter is 5/2 = 2.5 times that of the smaller.
We apply this scale factor 2.5 to the smaller hypotenuse 10 to jump to 2.5*10 = 25, which is the length of the larger hypotenuse.
Yes it is indeed nothing else can be done to this problem
Answer:
Adult tickets =125
Child tickets = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively
So that
x+y= 253--------1
Since total sales/receipt is $2,771
And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence
15x+7y= 2771-------2
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have
x+y= 253---------------1
15x+7y= 2771----------2
Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3
15x+15y=3795---------3
-{15x+7y= 2771----------2
0+8y=1024
8y= 1024
y= 1024/8
y= 128 tickets
So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1
x+ 128=253
x=253-128
x= 125 tickets
