How do you find the scale factor of two triangles, 0.3 and 2.4?

1 answer:

8 0

Divide the larger one by the smaller one. 2.4 divided by 0.3 gives you 8. That means the scale factor is 8, or the larger triangle is 8 times larger than the smaller. We can prove this by multiplying 0.3 by 8 and getting 2.4

The ratio of two complementary angles is 5 to 1. what are the angles?

densk [106]

Call x and y those angles. If they are complementary, then their sum equals 90°:

x + y = 90°

y = 90° - x

The ratio of them is 5 to 1. So,

x/y = 5/1

x/(90° - x) = 5/1

x = 5 * (90° - x)

x = 450° - 5x

x + 5x = 450°

6x = 450°

x = 450°/6

x = 75°

The measure of the other angle is

y = 90° - 75°

y = 15°

The angles are 75° and 15°.

I hope it helps. =)

Evaluate

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 8

Explanation: first start with the fractions. 4 divided by a (which equals 4) is 1. B (which equals 3) divided by 3 is 1. Then put it all together 6+1+1=8.

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than the width. The area is 10 square inches. Find the dimensions

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Width = 2

Length = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let A be the area of the rectangle

L be the length of the rectangle

w be the width of the rectangle

Formula: ‘area of a rectangle’

A = L × w

…………………………………………………

A = L × w

⇔ 10 = (w + 3) × w

⇔ 10 = w² + 3w

⇔ w² + 3w - 10 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation w² + 3w - 10 = 0 :

Δ = 3² - 4(1)(-10) = 9 - (-40) = 9 + 40 = 49

then √Δ = 7

$\Longrightarrow w=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta } }{2a} =\frac{-3+7}{2} =2$

$or\ w=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta } }{2a} =\frac{-3-7}{2} =-5$

-5 is not valid ,because w represents the width

which must be a positive number

Then w = 2

Conclusion:

Width = 2

Length = 2 + 3 = 5
