Options:
a. Nikki's proposed placement will light a greater area than Dylan's placement.
b. Dylan's proposed placement will light a greater area than Nikki's placement.
c. Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.
d. Nikki's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.
e. Dylan's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.
f. Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.
g. Nikki's proposed placement will light less than half of the yard.
Answer:
C) Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.
F) Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2, and both lights illuminate the same base and height = (60 x 38) / 2 = 1,140 sq ft
Both Dylan's and Nikki's proposed placement will lit exactly half of the yard. The yard's total area = 60 x 38 = 2,280 sq ft, which is twice the area lit by the lights.
The missing numbers would be 12-6
There are two solutions to this question, one is positive and the other is negative:
Answer: The only correct answer is 8/18. See below
Step-by-step explanation:
All you need to do is divide the denominator of 9 into the denominator of each fraction, and multiply the numerator by the same factor like this:
4/9 = ?/36; 36/9 = 4; 4x4 =16, so we know that 4/9=16/36 NOT 20/36
4/9 = ?/18; 18/9 =2; 2x4 =8, so we know that 5/9 = 8/18 so YES.
4/9 = ?/45; 45/9=5; 5x4 = 20, so we know that 5/9 = 20/45 NOT 24/45
5/9 = ?/27; 27/9 =3; 3x5 = 15, so we know that 5/9 = 15/27 NOT 12/27
