Answer:
5½ inches
Step-by-step explanation:
7⅔ - 2 1/6 = 7 4/6 - 2 1/6 = 5 3/6 = 5½
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC
AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence
AC = 
= 16
Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD
ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²
ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²
Equate both equations for AD², hence
256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²
-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )
- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )
40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )
x = 7.2 → C
Answer:
A'B'= 3 cm and B'D' = 1.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we are told that the scale factor = 1/5
Now,we know that If the scale factor is less than 1, then the dilation is a reduction.
Thus, in this question the dilation is a reduction.
For us to calculate the dimensions of the dilated rectangle, we'll multiply the original dimensions by the scale factor
Thus;
A'B' = AB(1/5)
A'B' = 15(1/5) = 3 cm
B'D' = BD(1/5) = 8(1/5) = 1.6 cm
Thus, The length of each side of the dilated rectangle are;
A'B'= 3 cm and B'D' = 1.6 cm
The dimensions given when you have a triangle is the base and height of the triangle. The formula for the area is
A = 0.5bh
The unknown here is h. We can determine that from the cost of mulch that covers the whole area of the triangle. The equation would be:
4A = 33
Substituting A = 0.5*5.5*h = 2.75h to the equation:
4(2.75h) = 33
11h = 33
h = 33/11
h = 3 feet
