Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal then they would be the sides of 2 similar triangles.

Calculate the ratio of corresponding sides.

$\frac{6}{1.5}$ = 4

$\frac{10}{2.5}$ = 4

$\frac{12}{3.5}$ ≠ 4

Thus the sides are not the corresponding sides of similar triangles.

Can someone help me with this word problem?

DanielleElmas [232]

So for question 7 part A the picture will be a triangle similar to the the one that shows the umbrella's height. But the base will be 40 and the height will be 130.

for part B the angle of depression can be found using the trigonometric function of tangent.

tan x = 40/130
tan^-1 (tan x) = tan^-1 (40/30)
x = 17 degrees

I hope i am right

in a certain recipe, 2 1/4 cups of flour are called for to make a cake that serves 6. of mrs. jenkins wants to use the same reci

Phoenix [80]

If in a certain recipe, a cake serving 6 persons require $2(\frac{1}{2} )$ cups of flour and Mrs. Jenkins wants to use the same recipe to make a cake for 8, then she will need to use $3(\frac{1}{3})$ cups of flour.

As per the question statement, $2(\frac{1}{2} )$ cups of flour are required to bake a cake that serves 6. Mrs. Jenkins wants to use the same recipe to bake a cake for 8.

We have to calculate the number of cups of flours she will need to bake her desired cake as per the same recipe.

To solve this question, we will simply use the unitary method, i.e.,

A cake serving 6 required $2(\frac{1}{2} )=\frac{5}{2}$ cups of flour in its preparation, then,

A cake serving 1 person will require $\frac{\frac{5}{2} }{6} =\frac{5}{12}$ cups of flour, and finally,

A cake serving 1 person will require $(\frac{5}{12} *8)=\frac{10}{3}=3(\frac{1}{3})$ cups of flour.

Hence, Mrs. Jenkins wants to use the same recipe to make a cake for 8, then she will need to use $3(\frac{1}{3})$ cups of flour.

Unitary Method: In Mathematics, the unitary method is a problem-solving technique where, we first find the value of a single unit, and then calculate the necessary value by multiplying that single unit value.

If all of the people that live in your home bought one 360 pound hamburger from Mallie’s Sports Grill and ate 2/3 pound servings

Vsevolod [243]

We have 4 people in our home
so total bought 360 pounds of hamburger
each ate 2/3 pound every day
so 360-(amount eaten per day) times (number of days)=0 (0 because we want it to be gone)
number of days=x unknown
amount eaten per day=(number of people) times (amount eaten per person per day)
amount eaten per day=4 times 2/3 lb=8/3
360-8/3 times x=0
360-8/3x=0
add 8/3x to both sides
360=8/3x
multiply both sides by 3/8
1080/8=x
135=x
it would take 135 days or about 4 months or 1/3 year, assuming that my family doesn't get tired of it and that my reletives don't visit and take a whole bunch to bring home.

4 people takes 135 days
