Answer:

<u><em>The area increase by 225%</em></u>

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation: </u></em>

<em><u>attachment of a triangle</u></em>

<em><u>The area of a triangle equilateral is calculated with the next formula:</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{a*h}{2}</u></em>

<em><u>h^{2} +(\frac{a}{2})^{2}=a^{2}</u></em>

<em><u>h^{2} = a^{2} - \frac{a^{2} }{4}= \frac{a^{2} }{4}*3</u></em>

<em><u>h=\sqrt{\frac{a^{2}*3 }{4} }</u></em>

<em><u>h=\frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2}</u></em>

<em><u>replacing in the A equation:</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{a*\sqrt{3}*a }{2*2}</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{\sqrt{3}*a^{2} }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>Now each side increse by 50% ⇒ a=1.5a</u></em>

<em><u>A= \frac{\sqrt{3}*(1.5a)^{2} }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{\sqrt{3}*a^{2}* 2.25 }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>A=2.25 * \frac{\sqrt{3}*a^{2} }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>It means that the area incrase by 225%</u></em>

Plsss help ill give brainiest
Elena L [17]

To solve this problem, we have to use the area of both gauze or the dimensions on each gauze and compare them. we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.

<h3>Area of Rectangle</h3>

The area of a rectangle is given as the product between the length and it's width.

Data;

  • Length = 9in
  • Area = 45in^2
  • width = ?
  • length 2 = 4in
  • width 2 = 3in

area = length * width

In the first gauze, the area is given as 45in^2 and we have value of the length. To find the width of the first gauze can be calculated as

A = length * width\\width = \frac{area}{length} \\width = \frac{45}{9} \\width = 5in

We can see that the width are not equal so is their length.

But if we would truly compare them, the accurate way to do that is by their area

The area of the second gauze is given by

a = 3 * 4 = 12in^2

From the above calculations, we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.

If mRS=x then write an equation that could be used to solve for x and find the value of x
Fed [463]

Answer:

a) x = 30°

b) mRS = x = 30°

mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°

Question:

The complete question as found on Chegg website:

In the diagram below, secants PT and PU have been drawn from exterior point P such that the four arcs

intercepted have the following ratio of measurements:

mRS : mST :MTU : mUR=1:4:4:3

(a) If mRS = x, then write an equation that could be used to solve for x

and find the value of x.

(b) State the measure of each of the four arcs.

mRS =

mST =

MTU

MUR =

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the diagram related to the question

mRS : mST : mTU : mUR = 1:4:4:3

Since mRS = x

Writing the ratios of the measure of angle in terms of mRS:

mST = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x

mTU = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x

mUR= 3× mRS = 3×x = 3x

The sum of measure the 4 measures of arc = 360° (sum of angle in a circle)

mRS + mST + mTU + mUR = 360°

x + 4x + 4x + 3x = 360

12x = 360

x = 360/12

x = 30°

b) The measure of angle

mRS = x = 30°

mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°
