Answer:
9.6 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that ΔBAC is similar to ΔEDF, and that the area of ΔBAC is 15 inches. And we want to determine the area of ΔDEF.
First, find the scale factor <em>k</em> from ΔBAC to ΔDEF:

Solve for the scale factor <em>k: </em>
<em />
<em />
<em />
Recall that to scale areas, we square the scale factor.
In other words, since the scale factor for sides from ΔBAC to ΔDEF is 4/5, the scale factor for its area will be (4/5)² or 16/25.
Hence, the area of ΔEDF is:

In conclusion, the area of ΔEDF is 9.6 square inches.
Answer:
x= -2 and y= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5y=24-------A
y=-4x---------B
Putting the value of y from B in A
8x+5(-4x)=24
8x +(-20x)= 24
8x-20x=24
-12x=24
x= -24/12
x=-2--------C y =-4(-2)=8
The correct answer is
A. Divide both sides by 6 and then add 2. The solution is x=8
247 is the correct answer!
Answer: d
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of not being purple is the probability of the three other colors. Suppose the number of purple marbles is x. Then we have 20+30+40+x = 90 + x marbles. Then the probability of not being purple is 90/(90+x). If this fraction can have a lowest term for some value of x, then the numerator of this lowest term must be a factor of 90.
Checking through the options, only option D has a non-factor of 90 as its numerator.
