Answer:

Perimeter of abc is 60 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of one side of triangle abc to the corresponding side of similar triangle def is 5:8.

Now we are given that the perimeter of def is 96 inches.

since the perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a triangle.

<em>" If two similar triangles have a scale factor of a : b, then the ratio of their perimeters is a : b" .</em>

Here we have a=5 and b=8.

Hence by the above statement we could say that:

Let Perimeter of abc be denoted by "P"

Perimeter of abc : Perimeter of def=5:8

⇒  \dfrac{P}{96}=\dfrac{5}{8}\\\\P=\dfrac{5\times96}{8}\\\\P=60

Hence the Perimeter of abc is 60 inches.

What are the best approximations of the solutions to this system?
Scilla [17]

(-1.2,-2.0) and (1.9,2.2) are the best approximations of the solutions to this system.

Option B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here, we have a graph of two functions from which we need to find the approximate value of common solutions. Let's find this:

First look at where we have intersection points, In first quadrant & in third quadrant.

<u>At first quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point . After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=1.9 and y-axis at y=2.2. So, one point is (1.9,2.2)

<u>At Third quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point. After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=-1.2 and y-axis at y=  -2.0. So, other point is (-1.2,-2.0).

How to turn pounds to ounces
aalyn [17]
1 pound = 16 ounces
multiply the amount of pounds you have by 16 (that's how many ounces is in a pound) your answer should be whatever you get
example: you have 13 pounds, just multiply it by 16, the answer is 208.
so there are 208 ounces in 13 pounds.
or you could go google and ask them.
hope this helps.
