Answer:
Blake will jog 12 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
Allison : Blake = 3 : 2
If they keep jogging at the same rate, how many blocks will Blake jog if Allison jogs 18 blocks?
Allison : Blake = 18 : x
Equate the ratios
3 : 2 = 18 : x
3/2 = 18/x
Cross multiply
3 * x = 2 * 18
3x = 36
Divide both sides by 3
x = 36 / 3
= 12
x = 12
Blake will jog 12 blocks
Remember that
Thus, we can solve for x.
x + 22 = 90 - (2x - 7)
x + 22 = 97 - 2x
3x + 22 = 97
3x = 75
x = 25
The area of any triangle is (1/2) x (length of the base) x (height) .
In this problem, we know the triangle's height,
but what is the length of the base ?
The base is the side that the triangle is sitting on. This particular triangle
is an equilateral one, and its perimeter is 60m. So each side must be 20m.
No matter which side the triangle is sitting on, the length of the base is 20m.
Area = (1/2) x (base) x (height)
Area = (1/2) x (20m) x (17.3m) = <em>173 m²</em>
A description of a dilation includes the scale factor (or ratio) and the center of the dilation. The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement (a stretch). If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction (a shrink
