Finding the proportion using the figure below

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serjik [45]3 years ago
5 0

The ratio of the figure is  \frac{a}{j} =\frac{c}{k} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The given figure of two triangles. A smaller triangle and a larger triangle. The smaller triangle has sides measuring a and c. The second and larger triangle has sides measuring (a + b) and (c + d).

From the given diagram, we have

j = a+b and k=c+d.

So the second larger triangle has sides measuring j and k.

Step 2:

If a ratio is given, both sides of the ratio must have the corresponding side lengths of the given triangles.

On the left side of the ratio, we have the terms a and j, which are the side lengths of the smaller and larger triangles respectively.

Similarly, the right side has a ratio of c and an unknown term. The term c is the length of the smaller triangle whereas k is the length of the larger triangle.

So the ratio of the figure is  \frac{a}{j} =\frac{c}{k} .

Explain the difference between combination and permutation in your own words. Give examples.
torisob [31]
Apparently, we use "Permutation" when order doesn't matter. In that way, only possible outcomes can be calculated.

P (n, r) = n! ( (n - r)!

Unlike, We use "Combination" when order does matter. Combination gives us all possible values.

C (n, r) = n! / (n - r)! r!

Hope this helps!

The airplane in the scale drawing has a wingspan of a feet and a tail span of b feet. If the tailspin in the drawing is 2 inches
xeze [42]

Correct answer is: actual wingspan of airplane is 6 inches.

Solution:-

We are given that wingspan is 'a' feet and tail span is 'b' feet in a scale drawing.

And we are also given that tail span is 2 inches that is b=2 inches and \frac{a}{b}=3

Let us plugin the b value in above equation.

\frac{a}{2}=3

Multiplying with 2 on both sides.

a=3X2=6 inches.

Hence actual wingspan of airplane is 6 inches.
