The area of two similar triangles are 50dm^2 and 32dm^2. The sum of their perimeters is 117dm. What us the perimeters of each of

Kay [80]

Answer:

Perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 52 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Please remember the concept

If sides are in the ratio of a:b

Then the area in the ratio of $a^{2} :b^{2}$

It is given sum of their perimeter is 117.

Let the small triangle has perimeter as x.

So, perimeter of big triangle is 117-x.

So, we can set up equation as

$\frac{50}{32} =\frac{x^{2} }{(117-x)^{2} }$

Cross multiply

50(117-x)^2 =32x^2

Expand the left side

50 $(13689 -234x+x^{2} )$ = $32x^{2}$

Distribute the left side

684450-11700x+ $50x^{2}$ = $32x^{2}$

Subtract both sides $32x^{2}$ and rewrite it $18x^{2} -11700x+684450=0$

Solve this quadratic for x.

Divide both sides of the equation by 18 to simplify.

$x^{2}$ -650 x+38025=0

Now, if possible let's factor

Find two integers whose multiplication is 38025 but adds to -650.

-65 and -585 works.

So, we can rewrite it as

(x -65)(x-585) =0

Solve them using zero product property

x=65, x=585

So, x=65 works here.

So, perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 117-65= 52 dm

Mark and Julio are selling flower bulbs for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy bags of windflower bulbs and packages of croc

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Bag of windflower bulbs costs $8.50

Package of crocus bulbs costs $17.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be the price of one bag of windflower bulbs and $y be the price of one package of crocus bulbs.

1. Mark sold 2 bags of windflower bulbs for $2x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(2x+5y) that is $105. So,

2x+5y=105

2. Julio sold 9 bags of windflower bulbs for $9x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(9x+5y) that is $164.50. So,

9x+5y=164.50

3. You get the system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+5y=105\\ \\9x+5y=164.50\end{array}\right.$

From the first equation

$5y=105-2x$

Substitute it into the second equation:

9x+105-2x=164.50

7x=164.50-105

7x=59.5

x=$8.50

So,

5y=105-2·8.5

5y=105-17

5y=88

y=$17.60

The sum of two numbers is -10.5.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

-5 and -5.5;

-12.5 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two negative addends, can be added together to give -10.5.

For example:

(-5) + (-5.5) = -5 - 5.5 = -10.5

Also, it is possible for one of the addends to be negative while the other is positive, and their sum will give us -10.5.

For example:

The sum of -12.5 and 2 will give us -10.5.

We are adding a positive and a negative number here. As usual, we will subtract the smaller number from the bigger number, while the result will carry the sign of the bigger number, which in this case is negative sign.

Thus:

(-12.5) + (2) = -10.5

-(3/4)+1 7/8 divided by 1/2 =n

VashaNatasha [74]

first off, let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then proceed, let's notice that by PEMDAS or order of operations, the multiplication is done first, and then any sums.

$\stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+7}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{8} \div \cfrac{1}{2}\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{8} \cdot \cfrac{2}{1}\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{4} \\\\\\ \cfrac{-3+15}{4}\implies \cfrac{12}{4}\implies 3$
