Two corresponding sides of similar triangles are 2 cm and 5 cm. What is the area of the second triangle if the area of the first

triangle is 8 cm2?
The triangles ABC and DFG are similar and the ratio of their corresponding sides is 6:5. The area of the triangle ABC is greater than the area of the triangle DFG by 77 cm2. Find the areas of these triangles.

Answer:

(1) Area of second triangle= 50 cm^2.

(2) Area of ΔABC=98 cm^2.

   and Area of ΔDFG=175 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>" For two similar triangles the ratio of sides is equal to the ratio of square of their areas".</em>

i.e. if a,b are the corresponding sides of two similar triangles and let A and B denote the area of two triangles then we have the relation as:

\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}

(1)

for the first question:

we have a=2, b=5.

A=8 cm^2.

Hence,

\dfrac{2^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{8}{B}\\\\\dfrac{4}{25}=\dfrac{8}{B}

B=50 cm^2.

Hence, the area of second triangle is 50 cm^2.

(2)

In second option we have:

a=6 and b=5.

A-B=77 cm^2.

A=77+B

\dfrac{6^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}\\  \\\dfrac{36}{25}=\dfrac{77+B}{B}\\  \\36B=25\times77+25B\\\\36B-25B=25\times77\\\\11B=25\times77\\\\B=25\times7\\\\B=175

Hence area of second triangle i.e. ΔDFG is 175 cm^2.

and area of first triangle i.e. ΔABC=175-77=98 cm^2.

Answer:

B) 63°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> find the angle beside x (inside the pentagon)

<em>*A pentagon has a total of 540°</em>

119 + 100 + 116 + 88 = 423

540 - 423 = 117

<u>Step 2:</u> x is a supplementary angle, which means it's angle adds up to 180°

Since we know the other angle is 117°, we just subtract that from 180

180 - 117 = 63

x = 63

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

- 6 < x < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first things first:

- 7 < 2x  + 5 \\  - 7 - 5 < 2x  + 5 - 5 \\  - 12 < 2x \\  - 6 < x

now:

2x + 5 < 7 \\ 2x + 5 - 5 < 7 - 5 \\ 2x < 2 \\ x < 1

now the intersection is:

- 6 < x < 1
