we know that


area larger triangle (DEF)=[scale factor]²*area smaller triangle (ABC)

solve for scale factor

scale factor=√[area larger triangle/area smaller triangle]

scale factor=√[144/100]------> scale factor=1.2


therefore

measure EF=scale factor *measure BC

solve for measure BC

measure BC=measure EF/scale factor-------> 15/1.2------> 12.5 cm


the answer is

measure BC is 12.5 cm

Answer:

<u>Option 4:</u> $2.18

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Lets first analyse our given information. We know that:</u>

- Original Cost Per Jug: $0.80

- Mark Up cost: 150%

- Sales Tax: 9%

Now the Mark Up cost essentially means that the original price of any item has gone up (i.e. increased). So first let us find the Mark Up final cost of a $0.80 jug when price has increased by 150%, as follow:

0.80+0.80\frac{150}{100} =0.80 + 1.2=2

Thus the jug after the mark up now costs $2.

Now lets compute the sales tax on the final jug cost, thus the 9% Tax on $2 as follow:

2+2\frac{9}{100}=2+0.18=2.18

So finally the total cost of a jug of iced tea from A-1 Deli is $2.18 dollars (i.e. Option 4).

Find the x and y intercepts of the graph of the equation 1. 3x-4y=24 2. -6x+3y=12
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the intercept form of the line

x/a + y/b = 1

has intercepts at (1,0) and (0,b)

#1. Divide by 24 to get x/8 + y/-6 = 1

The intercepts are at (8,0) and (0,-6)

#2 Divide by 12

x/-2 + y/4 = 1

Given: <br> PQ<br> ⊥<br> QR<br> , PR=20,<br> SR=11, QS=5<br> Find: The value of PS.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The value of the side PS is 26 approx.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have two right triangles. Triangle PQR and Triangle PQS.

Where S is some point on the line segment QR.

Given:

PR = 20

SR = 11

QS = 5

We know that QR = QS + SR

QR = 11 + 5

QR = 16

Now triangle PQR has one unknown side PQ which in its base.

Finding PQ:

Using Pythagoras theorem for the right angled triangle PQR.

PR² = PQ² + QR²

PQ = √(PR² - QR²)

PQ = √(20²+16²)

PQ = √656

PQ = 4√41

Now for right angled triangle PQS, PS is unknown which is actually the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Finding PS:

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

PS² = PQ² + QS²

PS² = 656 + 25

PS² = 681

PS = 26.09

PS = 26
