Please help me solve this problem on similar figures➕➖

To begin to solve this problem, we need to figure out by what number the sides are similar. That means what do we have to multiply the sides of one triangle to get the sides of the other triangle.


If the longest side of a similar triangle measures 39 centimeters, we can divide 39 by 65 (the longest side of the triangle we know) to figure out what we have to multiply each of the sides of the triangle. 39 / 65 is 0.6, so the triangles are similar by a factor of 0.6.


Since the question asks us for the length of the shortest side, we need to multiply the length of the shortest side of the triangle that we know (25) by 0.6. 25 * 0.6 is 15, so the length of the shortest side of this triangle is 15 cm.

A similar triangle means it is of a diferent size, but the sides or angles are proportionaly the same.


Use the rule of 3 on each number, to find the equivalent sides:


65 - 39

60 - x


(60 * 39) / 65

2340 / 65

36cm



60 - 36

25 - x


(25*36) / 60

900 / 60

15cm



Original triangle: 65, 60, 25

Similar triangle: 39, 36, 15


Answer:


\boxed{\bf~The~smallest~side~of~the~trianlge~measures~15cm.}




Hope it helped,


Happy homework/ study/ exam!

The Chocolate Shoppe has a rectangular logo for their business that
tigry1 [53]

The equation that calculates the unknown side length, M of the Chocolate Shoppe rectangular logo is A = 3.1H

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The parameters in the question are:

  • Logo: Rectangle
  • Height, H = 3 1/10 feet

Represent the area of the logo with A, and L represents the unknown side

The area (A) of the rectangle is calculated using:

A = H * L

Substitute 3 1/10 for H

A = 3 1/10 * H

Express the fraction as decimal

A = 3.1H

Hence, the equation that could be used to determine the unknown side length, M of the logo is A = 3.1H

How many bucketloads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans? Write your answer in scientific notation.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer: 7\times10^{19} buckets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  A cubic kilometer=10^{15}cubic centimeters

The volume of  world’s oceans=1.4\times10^{9} cubic kilometers of water.

⇒ The volume of  world’s oceans=1.4\times10^{9}\times10^{15} cubic centimeters of water.

Volume of a bucket = 20,000 cubic centimeters of water.

The number of bucket-loads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans

n=\frac{\text{volume of ocean}}{\text{volume of bucket}}=\frac{1.4\times10^{9}\times10^{15}}{20000}

\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{1.4\times10^{9+15}}{0.2\times10^5}......[a^n\times a^m=a^{m+n}]\\\Rightarrow\ n=7\times10^{24-5}.....[\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}]\\\Rightyarrow\ n=7\times10^{19}

hence,  7\times10^{19} bucketloads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans.
