A rectangle has an area of 20 ft.² in a similar rectangle has an area of 180 ft.² what is the ratio of areas of the similar

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}
\\\\
\begin{array}{cccllll}
&Sides&Area&Volume\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s^2}{s^2}=\cfrac{20}{180}\implies \left( \cfrac{s}{s} \right)^2=\cfrac{20}{180}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\sqrt{\cfrac{20}{180}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{180}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{6\sqrt{5}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{2}{6}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{1}{3}$

Answer:

-1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{11x}{12} -\frac{1}{6} =\frac{-1}{4}$ add 1/6 to both sides

$\frac{11x}{12} =\frac{1}{6} -\frac{1}{4}$ make the same denominator 12 on the right side

$\frac{11x}{12} =\frac{1}{6}*\frac{2}{2} -\frac{1}{4}*\frac{3}{3}$ solve

$\frac{11x}{12} =\frac{2}{12} -\frac{3}{12} =\frac{2-3}{12} = \frac{-1}{12}$

$\frac{11x}{12}*12 =\frac{-1}{12} *12$ multiply by 12 both sides

11x= -1 divide by 11

x= -1/11

What is the value of cosθ given that (−2, −3) is a point on the terminal side of θ ?

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

-0.555

Step-by-step explanation:

The terminal point of the vector in this problem is

(-2,-3)

So, it is in the 3rd quadrant.

We want to find the angle $\theta$ that gives the direction of this vector.

We can write the components of the vector along the x- and y- direction as:

$v_x = -2\\v_y = -3$

The tangent of the angle will be equal to the ratio between the y-component and the x-component, so:

$tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}=\frac{-3}{-2}=1.5\\\theta=tan^{-1}(1.5)=56.3^{\circ}$

However, since we are in the 3rd quadrant, the actual angle is:

$\theta=180^{\circ} + 56.3^{\circ} = 236.3^{\circ}$

So now we can find the cosine of the angle, which will be negative:

$cos \theta = cos(236.3^{\circ})=-0.555$

A jacket that originally sold for $60.00 was on sale for 10% off. When it didn't sell after several weeks, the sale price was di

sammy [17]

The final price of the jacket was $32.40 after both the 10% and 40% discount. The total discount is NOT equal to a 50% discount. When 10% off, the price was $54, bringing the next 40% off to a whole different number, not necessarily off the original price.

I don't know if that makes sense to you, sorry xD
