Answer:
<em>The cost of 10 cm and 70 cm are £0.55 and £3.85 respectively.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Material for a dress costs £5.50 per meter.
We know that, <u>1 meter = 100 cm</u>.
Suppose, the cost of 10 cm material is 
and the cost of 70 cm material is 
Now, <u>according to the ratio of "cost" to the "length of material"</u> , we will get.......
and
So, the cost of 10 cm material is £0.55 and the cost of 70 cm material is £3.85

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides be a, b and c.
<h3>Given</h3>
The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side
The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:
The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:
<h3>Solution</h3>
Substitute a with b in the second equation:
- c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5
Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:
- 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
- 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
- 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
- 7b = 21
- b = 3
Find the value of a:
- a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7
Find the value of c:
- c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
The sides of the triangle are:
- a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet
