Find the area [ a = bh ] of both then subtract.
16 * 20 = 320
11 * 14 = 154
320 - 154 = 166"
Best of Luck!
a = amount invested at 7%
b = amount invested at 9%
we know the amount invested was ₹36000, thus we know that whatever "a" and "b" are, a + b = 36000. We can also say that
since we know the interest earned from the invested was ₹2920, then we say that 0.07a + 0.09b = 2920.

Answer:
missing side length is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
similar means that all correlating pairs of sides have the same ratio (old side length) / (new side length).
so, when we know the ratio of one pair, we can apply it to any other side to calculate the correlating side.
we see, when we go from small to large, that we have the ratio 32/40 = 4/5.
so, multiplying the larger side by this, we get the shorter side.
15 × 4/5 = 3 × 4 = 12
the proportion part in your picture is a bit confusing :
yes,
x/15 = 32/40 = 32/40
I don't know, why this last expression was repeated.
x/15 = 32/40
x = 15×32/40 = 15×4/5 = 3×4 = 12
as you see we get of course the same result doing it that way.
C = kmt
k = C/mt
Units of k are Calories per pound - minute.
