An equilateral triangle with sides 10 cm is inscribed inside a similar triangle. The larger triangle is dilated with a scale fac
tor of 3 from the smaller triangle. Using the ratios of areas, find the area of the shaded region.
1 answer:
To solve this exercise you must follow the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the the lengths of the sides of equilateral triangle which is inscribed inside a similar triangle are 10 cm. Therefore, the area is:
A1=bxh/2
A1=10 cmx10 cm/2
A1=50 cm²
2. <span>The larger triangle is dilated with a scale factor of 3 from the smaller triangle. Using the ratio of the area:
(1/3)</span>²<span>=50/A2
1/9=50/A2
A2=450 cm</span>²
<span>
3. The area of the shaded region is:
At=A2-A1
At=400 cm</span>²

Answer:
The answer is: 63
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 180 by 35% to find how many are huskies
and its 63.
Check on calculator to make sure: 180 ÷ 35% = 63
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle EGF = 0.5(180° - 50°) = 65°.
Angle CGF = 180° - Angle EGF = 115°.
