Answer:

4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the sides = ratio of the square roots of the areas.

Ratio of the sides = √ 20  / √180

= 2√5 / 6 √5

= 1/3

So the length of the required side = 1/3 * 12

= 4

Answer:

The corresponding side of the first triangle is 4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangle, ratio of areas of triangles is equal to the ratio of square of their corresponding sides.

Consider, the below two similar triangles,

area(ΔXYZ) = 20m² , area(ΔPQR) = 180m² and PQ = 12m

We have to find value of XY.

According to above property of similar triangle,

\frac{ar(\bigtriangleup{XYZ})}{ar(\bigtriangleup{PQR})}=\frac{(XY)^2}{(PQ)^2}

Put values in the above equation, we get,

\frac{20}{180}=\frac{(XY)^2}{(12)^2}

Solving for XY,

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{9}=\frac{(XY)^2}{144}

Cross multiply, we get,

\Rightarrow \frac{144}{9}=(XY)^2

\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{144}{9}}=(XY)

\Rightarrow \frac{12}{3}=XY

\Rightarrow XY=4

Thus, the corresponding side of the first triangle is 4 m.

Look at the graph of the linear function. On a coordinate plane, a line goes through 4 points. Point A is (negative 2, negative
kondor19780726 [428]

Using it's concept, the rate of change between point C and point D is of 2.

<h3>What is the average rate of change of a function?</h3>

The average rate of change of a function is given by the <u>change in the output divided by the change in the input</u>. Hence, over an interval [a,b], the rate is given as follows:

r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

Considering the points of the given linear function, we have that:

  • Point C: f(1) = 2.
  • Point D: f(2) = 4.

Hence the rate of change between point C and point D is given by:

r = (4 - 2)/(2 - 1) = 2.

Alonzo is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved $30 , which is two-thirds of the total cost of the game. How much does
Andrei [34K]
Well, it should be 45 because 1/3 of the game would be 15 and 15+15 is 30 (2/3rds cost), so 15+15+15, 45, would be the full cost of the game
