If sum of numbers (a) +(b) is 1419 and
(a) and (b) are <span>neighbors , whe have:
a + b = 1419 and b-a = 1;
<=> </span>a + b = 1419 and <span>a = b-1 ;
so we have b-1 + b = 1419 <=> 2b = 1420 <=> b=710 and a = 709
Answer: 710 and 709

A Triangle has an area of 36cm^2. The base and height are scaled by a factor of 5. What is the area of the resulting triangle?

Finger [1]

Answer:

Area of resulting triangle will be 900 $cm^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

When sides of any polygon if scaled by a factor of k

then area is scaled by $k^2$

According to the above statement

therefore here in the question since area of original triangle was 36 $cm^2$

and both base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.

therefore area of scaled triangle will be $5^2$ times of the original

that is 25 x 36 which gives 900 $cm^2$

So area of resulting triangle will be 900 $cm^2$

Draw 8 lines that are between 1 inch and 3 inches long. Measure each line to the nearest fourth inch, and make a line plot.

IRISSAK [1]

The length of the line is the difference between the endpoints of the line

The length of each line to the nearest fourth inch is 0.25 inch

<h3>How to measure the length of each line</h3>

The length of the horizontal line is given as:

Length = 2 inches

This is calculated as:

Length = 3 inches - 1 inch

Length = 2 inches

8 lines are to be drawn between the 1 inch and 3 inches point.

So, the length (l) of each line is:

$l = \frac{2\ inches}{8}$

Simplify the fraction

$l = \frac{1\ inches}{4}$

Divide

$l = 0.25\ inch$

Hence, the length of each line to the nearest fourth inch is 0.25 inch

the base of a ten foot ladder stands six feet from a house. How many feet up the house does the ladder reach

Ludmilka [50]

In this problem you will need to use the Pythagorean theorem (c^2=a^2+b^2).
The a and b represents the two edges, while c is the diagonal side and it is called the hypotenuse. Since you already know what the hypotenuse is and what one of the sides already are you just have to use the problem: c^2-a^2=b^2. Then if you plug the data you already have into the problem you will get 10^2-6^2=b^2. That then equals 100-36=b^2. Then you subtract and get b^2=64. Then you square root both sides and you get the answer b=8.
