Answer:

The blue portion of the flag is actually 2/6 or 1/3 of the flag

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the size of the blue portion of the line it takes up twice the space as the white part. Imagine a small line drawn through the middle of the blue rectangle, now you can see that the flag is split up into 6 parts, rather then 5! Since we now have 2/6 of the flag being taken up by blue, that can be reduced down to 1/3 of the flag covered in blue.

The height of a parallelogram is 3 times the base. The base measures 4.5cm. What is the area of the parallelogram?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

60.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for area of a parallelogram; Base times Height.

Put 4.5 in the formula for base, because it is the base. The formula is now 4.5 times Height.

If the base measures 4.5, and the height is three times that, then multiply 3 by 4.5. This gives you the answer 13.5.

Now put in 13.5 to the equation for height, this is because it is the height that we've now found. The formula is now 4.5 times 13.5.

4.5 times 13.5 is 60.75, so the area of the parallelogram is 60.75 centimeters squared.

Write your answer with no spaces and any fraction with “/“

Archy [21]

Answer:

The slope is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Disclaimer: Just for this response, I'm going to write it the same way you write a fraction out on paper just so it's easier to see.

First, you plot the two coordinates on the graph:

(0,0) and (2,1)

The formula for slope is $\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$

Now we plug in numbers accordingly:

$\frac{0 - 1}{0 - 2}$

Simplify:

$\frac{-1}{-2} \\$

Simplify:

$\frac{1}{2}$
