There's a big triangle with base (2+6) meters and altitude 5 meters.
The formula for the area of a triangle of base B and altitude H is
A = BH/2.
The area of the large triangle is thus A = (8 meters)(5 meters)/2, or
20 square meters.
Use A = BH/2 to find the areas of the other triangles.
Answer:
6:5
Step-by-step explanation:
c = number of cats
d = number of dogs
d = c+6
Set up a ratio:
4/3 = d/c
Then replace d with c+6, so your equation only has one variable.
Cross multiply
4c = 3(c+6)
Multiply everything in the parentheses by 3.
4c = 3c + 18
Subtract 3c from both sides
4c - 3c = 18
c = 18
d = c + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24
If 2 more cats join, then you will have 20 cats and 24 dogs, so the ratio of dogs to cats will now be 24:20. Divide each side by 4 for a ratio of 6:5.
Answer:
28 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We're told that each 60 ft is represented by 4 inches of model. 420 feet is 7 times 60 feet, so the model will be 7 times 4 inches.
The height of the scale model is 28 inches.
This is just the same as asking you what number when subtracted by 20.5 will give you an answer of 8. The answer would obviously be 8+20.5=28.5 so w=28.5.
We can also do it in a more algebraic way. By adding 20.5 to both side of the equation which won't change the value.
w-20.5+20.5=8+20.5
w=28.5
