Let
h1---------------> height of △ABC 
b1---------------> base  of △ABC
h2--------------->height of △DEF
b2---------------> base of △DEF

we know that
h1=20 in
h2=24 in

Since they are similar, their bases must be in the same proportion:
h1/b1=h2/b2------> 20/b1=24/b2-----------> 24b1=20b2
b1=20b2/24-------------> equation 1

Area of △ABC=b1*h1/2
Area of △DEF=b2*h2/2

Let
r------>[<span>the ratio of the area of △ABC to the area of △DEF]
r=[b1*h1/2]/[b2*h2/2]------> [b1*h1]/[b2*h2]
r=[20b1]/[24b2]---------------> equation 2

</span><span>I substitute 1 in 2
</span>r=[20(20b2/24)]/[24b2]--------> r=20²/24²-------> r=0.6944

the answer is 
the ratio of the area of △ABC to the area of △DEF is 0.69

Solve the equation. 2(3x – 5) = 8
stiks02 [169]

You would distibute first distribute

6x-10=8

add 10 on both sides

6x=18

Then you divide 6 on both sides to get x by itself so

x=3

Of the 75% of a group that passed a physical examination only 3/5 passed the additional psychological exam. What fraction of the
Helga [31]
To find the fraction of the grouo that passed both exams, we need to first convert 75% into a fraction:

75%
=75/100
=3/4

We can then mutiply the fraction above by the students who passed the psychological exam:

3/4×3/5
=9/20

Therefore the answer is 9/20.

Hope it helps!

Given two angles that measure 50 degrees and 80 degrees and side that measures 4 feet, how many triangles, if any, can be constr
kirza4 [7]
The angles are the only constraint here that counts.  If one of the three interior angles of a supposed triangle is 50 degrees and another is 80 degrees, then the third angle must be 50 degrees.  Thus, we have a 50-50-80 triangle, which is isosceles though not a right triangle.  If 4 feet is a measure of one of the equal sides of a supposed triangle, then obviously the adjacent side also has measure 4 ft.

The set of angles remains the same (50-50-80), but subject to the constraint mentioned above, the measure of any one of the sides has infinitely many possible values, so long as those values are positive.
