Let's say that BC is x, so that AB is 4x, and AE = y.
The shaded area then is represented by 4xy/2 = 2xy.
The total area is represented by (4x+x)*y = 5xy.
The fraction of these is 2xy/5xy = 2/5.
Chocolatey107 is right!
Answer:
The answer is c and b
Step-by-step explanation:
I took the test
One battery costs $1.44.
The unit rate would be
To get that answer, you would have to divide 13 ÷ 9.
I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but if it was, I hope I helped! :-)
The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².
The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.
Consider 3 cases
Case (a): x < 1,
Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x² + x ≥ 1
Solve x² + x - 1 =
x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
Reject the negative length.
Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.
Case (b): x = 1
This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
The sides are 1, 1 and 1.
Case (c): x>1
In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
Reject the negative answr.
The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.
Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.
