Answer:

x = 17 and y = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

y = 3 + 2x

xy = 629

substituting y in the second equation we get

x(3+2x) = 629

3x + 2x^{2} = 629

2x^{2} + 3x - 629 = 0

Solving a quadratic equation by using its formula:

x = [-3 ±√(9-4(2)(-629)] / 4

x = [-3 ± √5041] / 4

x = [-3 ± 71] / 4

x = 17 and \frac{-37}{2}

Ignore the negative number in x and just use x = 17 in the first equation we get

y = 3 + 2(17) = 37

∆ABC is similar to ∆DEF. The ratio of the perimeter of ∆ABC to the perimeter of ∆DEF is 1 : 10. The longest side of ∆DEF measure
exis [7]

Answer:

Part 1) The length of the longest side of ∆ABC  is 4 units

Part 2) The ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF is \frac{1}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the length of the longest side of ∆ABC

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

The ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the length of the longest side of ∆ABC

y ----> the length of the longest side of ∆DEF

so

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{1}{10}

y=40\ units

substitute

\frac{1}{10}=\frac{x}{40}

solve for x

x=(40)\frac{1}{10}

x=4\ units

therefore

The length of the longest side of ∆ABC  is 4 units

Part 2) Find the ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of ∆ABC

y ----> the area of ∆DEF

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{1}{10}

so

z^2=(\frac{1}{10})^2

z^2=\frac{1}{100}

therefore

The ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF is \frac{1}{100}
