Answer:
The possible error made by Beth is directly multiplying scale of 5 to area of original triangle and getting area of enlarged triangle, which is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
Originally Triangle has height =3.5cm and width=4cm
Beth enlarged the same triangle by scale of 5 and calculate area of triangle
The area of triangle as given as A= $$\frac{1}{2} \texrm{ (base) (height)}$$
Area of original triangle is A =$$\frac{1}{2}(3.5 \times 4)$$
Since, The triangle is enlarged by scale of 5
New height =3.5x5 = cm and new width=4x5cm
Area of new triangle is
A' = $$\frac{1}{2} (\textrm{new width} ) ( \textrm{new height})$$
A' = $$\frac{1}{2}(3.5 \times 5)(4\times 5)$$
A' = $$\frac{1}{2}(3.5 \times 4)(5^{2})$$
A' = $$A (5^{2})$$
Now, Looking what error beth made is:
Beth found Area of new triangle is A' = $$\frac{1}{2}(3.5)(4)(5)$$
The possible error made by Beth is directly multiplying scale of 5 to area of original triangle and getting area of enlarged triangle, which is wrong.
Answer:
confusing. I'm looking for an easy way to solve this.
Step-by-step explanation:
4500 - 2300 = 2200
They wish to get rid of 2200 employees
250(x) = 2200
Divide 2200 by 250
x = 8.8
It will take 8.8 years.
Answer:
2 1/5
2 X 5 + 1 = 11/5
11/5 X 2/1 = 22/5
1 3/4
1 X 4 + 3 = 7/4
7/4 X 2/1 = 14/4
22/5 + 14/4
5 X 4 = 20
4 X 22 = 88
5 X 14 = 70
88/20 + 70/20 = 158/20
20 goes into 158 7 times with 18 left over
7 18/20 simplified = 7 9/10
