Two triangles have the same heights. One triangle has a base length that is twice the base length of the other triangle. Are the

base lengths and the areas of the two triangles proportional?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh,

For the first triangle we can leave it in general terms, so it's area is

A = (1/2)bh, depending on what b and h are, but it doesn't matter here...

The second triangle has base that is twice the other triangles base.  Bases being multiples of each other is the definition of being proportional so the bases are proportional, an the area of the second triangle is

A = (1/2)(2b)h,   which simplifies to

   A = bh

Comparing the 2 areas, you can see that one has a multiplier of (1/2), so their areas are proportional

-3 x -2 = 6

Multiply the denominators
8 x 9 = 72

Fraction is then 6/72, which reduces to 1/12.

Find the value of x.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The dashes on the lines show they are equal in length.

Therefore, by inspection of the diagram, we can see that the measures of the sides of the smaller triangle (with base 5x) are half the measures of the sides of the larger triangle (with base 70).

Therefore, creating an equation with this information:

    5x = 1/2 x 70

⇒ 5x = 35

⇒ x = 7

A committee raised 7/9 of their target goal last year and another 1/9 of the goal this year. What fraction of their goal has bee
Neporo4naja [7]

First, find 40% of 3,000:

0.40 * 3000 = 1200

So they raised 1200 so far.

Now subtract 1200 from the total they want to raise:

3000 - 1200 = 1800

So they need $1,800 more to meet their goal.
