The areas of two similar triangles are 72dm^2 and 50dm^2. The sum of their perimeters is 226dm. What is the perimeter of each of
1 answer:
Answer:
Per2 = 102.727 dm
Per1 = 123.272 dm
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of similar triangles are related to the square of their perimeters.
This means that
(Per1^2)/(Per2^2) = Area1 / Area2
If we take the square root of the previous equation
(Per1)/(Per2) =
(Per1)/(Per2) =
(Per1)/(Per2) = 1.2
We also know that
Per1 + Per2 = 226 dm
So,
1.2*Per2 + Per2 = 226 dm
2.2*Per2 = 226 dm
Per2 = 102.727 dm
Per1 = 1.2*Per2 = 123.272 dm

Answer: After working for 33 hours a week
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us write equations to represent these two places. Let x be hours worked and y be money earned.
Tim Hortons:
$200 + $5x = y
McDonalds:
$300 + $2x = y
Now, to find the conditions of which Tim Hortons is the better employer (on the basis of money earned) we must find the interval that Tim Hortons pays more. This can be found by setting up another equation, or by graphing. I have shown both. <em>See attached for the graph</em>.
$200 + $5x > $300 + $2x
$5x > $100 + $2x
$3x > $100
x >
x > 33.3334
Tim Hortons is the better employer after an employee has worked for 33 hours a week.
