There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.

It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.

Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle

base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)

Plug in the numbers

x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5

The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If every person has to choose a different character, the first person to choose a character has 6 options, the second has 5, the third has 4, the fourth has 3, and the last person has only two options. Therefore, the total number of ways you can do this if all 5 people dress up as a different character is:

$n=6*5*4*3*2\\n=720$

There are 720 ways.

What transformation was not done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function shifted left five units instead of right five units.

There's no vertical compression in the equation provided, but that's probably just a typo since there's a random bracket that I assume was supposed to be a fraction.
