Answer:

The area of triangles are 16 cm^2 and 49 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the smaller triangle in square centimeters

y ----> the area of the larger triangle in square centimeters

we know that

z=\frac{4}{7}

\frac{x}{y}=z^2

so

\frac{x}{y}=(\frac{4}{7})^2      

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{16}{49}

x=\frac{16}{49}y -----> equation A

x+y=65 ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

\frac{16}{49}y+y=65

solve for y

\frac{65}{49}y=65

y=49\ cm^2

Find the value of x

x=\frac{16}{49}(49)

x=16\ cm^2

therefore

The area of triangles are 16 cm^2 and 49 cm^2

Answer:

49 sq. cm amd 16 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for the area of the triangle:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{Base}\cdot \text{Height}

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4:7, so

  • if the larger base is x units, the smaller base is \frac{4}{7}x units;
  • if the larger height is h units, then the smaller height is  \frac{4}{7}h units.

So, the sum of the area is

\dfrac{1}{2}xh+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{4}{7}x\cdot \dfrac{4}{7}h=65\\ \\\dfrac{1}{2}xh\left(1+\dfrac{16}{49}\right)=65\\ \\\dfrac{1}{2}xh\cdot \dfrac{65}{49}=65\\ \\A_{larger}=\dfrac{1}{2}xh=49\ cm^2\\ \\A_{smaller}=65-49=16\ cm^2

If f(x)=x^2 + 8x find f(d-3)
pogonyaev
F(x)=x^2 +8x
f(d-3) basically what we get from this is that the x value is d-3
to find f(d-3) simply plug in d-3 for every x
f(d-3)=(d-3)^2 + 8(d-3)
that would be one form of the answer, but we can also continue multiplying it out
f(d-3)= d^2-6d+9+8d-24
add like terms
f(d-3)=d^2+2d-15

have a nice day and i hope this helps :)

10(x+12)=15x solve for x with how ?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

10(x+12)=15x  (Given)

10x + 120 = 15x (Distributive property of equality)

-5x = -120 (Subtraction property of equality)

x = 24 (Division property of equality)
