Answer: Kara should have written the proportion in step 1 as;
Start Fraction 12 Over 72 End Fraction = Start Fraction 14 Over x End Fraction (that is 12/72 = 14/x)
Step-by-step explanation: The two similar triangles are given with the following dimensions;
Triangle VXW with side VW = 12 and side VX = 14. Also Triangle ZXY with side YZ = 72 and side XZ = x.
For two triangles to be similar, then there must be a similarity ration that is consistent with all sides in both triangles. This means if in the first triangle a side measures 1 unit and the similar side in the other triangle measures 5 units, then the ratio of similarity of corresponding sides shall be ratio 1 : 5. So for every corresponding side in the second triangle the measurement shall be times five of the side that corresponds in the first triangle.
Therefore, in triangle VXW and triangle ZXY, the corresponding sides are as follows;
VX = ZX
VW = ZY
XW = XY
What Kara did was as follows;
VX/ZY = VW/ZX
Which translates to 14/72 = 12/x
This was a wrong calculation because the side that corresponds to VX is ZX and not ZY.
The correct step should therefore have been;
VW/ZY = VX/ZX
12/72 = 14/x (Step 1)
12x = (72) (14) {Step 2}
x = 1008/12 (Step 3)
x = 84 (Step 4)
Answer:
The properties of right angle triangle are as follows
- the hypotenuse is the longest side
- one angle is 90 degree then other angle will be also 90 degree.
Answer:
A. England = 56000000
B. 1.046 * 10^7
C. 9.7 to 2sf
Step-by-step explanation:
A. England = 5.60*10000000
=56000000
B. Wale = 3.14*1000000 = 3140000
Scotland = 5.44*1000000 = 5440000
Northern Ireland = 1.88*1000000 =1880000
Total = 10460000
In standard form =1.046*10^7
C. Total population as at 2018 = 66460000
expected population by 2041 = 72900000
increase or change = (72900000 - 66460000) = 6440000
% change = (6440000/66460000)*100
= 0.0969003912 * 100
= 9.69003912
= 9.7 to 2sf
