Answer:

The answer to your question is the big dog weighs 120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

big dog = b    

medium dog = m

small dog = s

Equations

       b = 5s

       m = 12 + s

       s = 2/3 m

Process

1.- Substitute m in the last equation

       s = 2/3(12 + s)

       s = 24/3 + 2/3s

       s - 2/3s = 8

       1/3 s = 8

             s = 8(3)

             s = 24 pounds

2.- Substitute s in the first equation

        b = 5(24)

        b = 120 pounds

To find the surface area, you need to do the following:
A side of the figure is a trapezoid, so you should do 13+5x7 (since there are 2 of the same sides there is no need to divide by two.) and it should equal 126. To find the area of the top of the figure, you need to do 5x2 which equals 10. The area of the bottom of the figure is 26 (13x2), then do 2x3x2 to get the sides on the left and right of the figure. After all of this, add them together. (126+10+26+12=174.)
The surface area should be 174mm.

2:3:9......added together = 14

2/14 (500) = 1000/14 = 71.43
3/14 (500) = 1500/14 = 107.14
9/14 (500) = 4500/14 = 321.43

The area of the triangle is 28.7 square centimeters. What is the base length of the triangle in centimeters?
Montano1993 [528]

In order to derive the base of a triangle from its area, you need its height as well.

In fact, if we solve the area formula for the base, we have

A=\dfrac{bh}{2} \iff 2A = bh \iff b=\dfrac{2a}{h}

So, the base length would be

b=\dfrac{2\cdot 28.7}{h} = \dfrac{57.4}{h}

where h is the height relative to the base you're interested in.
