I’m pretty sure the answer is 16, I’m very sorry if this is incorrect.
Answer:
a) 16.25 centimeters
b) 6.8 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.
a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:
6.5/x
x represents the length you're trying to find.
Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:
7.2/18=6.5/x
Cross multiply
16.25
XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.
b)
We can do same thing:
7.2/18=x/17
Cross multiply
6.8
QR is 6.8 centimeters long.
Hope this helps!
Yes, your answer is correct
Answer:
50% pen first box and 62.5% crayon from second box
Step-by-step explanation:
The first box contains 4 items, 2 of each. This means there are
pens. This gives you a
chance of picking out a pen. This can be written as 50%.
The second box contains 8 items, 3 color pencils and 5 crayons. This means
of the contents are crayons, meaning you have a
or 62.5% chance of picking a crayon.
*For working out the percentages, you should convert the fraction to a decimal and then multiply that by 100.
