Answer:
27 : 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides a : b, then
ratio of areas = a² : b² and
ratio of volumes = a³ : b³
Here the ratio of areas = 9 : 4, thus
ratio of sides = 
: 
= 3 : 2
ratio of volumes = 3³ : 2³ = 27 : 8
coordinate of B= (2+3,0) = (5,0)
by pythagoras' theorem,
height of triangle^2 + half length of AB^2 = AC^2
height of triangle^2 = 3^2-1.5^2
height of triangle ^2= 6.75
height of triangle= √6.75
coordinates of C= (1.5,√6.75)
Answer:
43.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope
-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38
3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32
To solve by elimination, multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 2.
3(-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38) --> -6<em>x</em> + 18<em>y</em> = -114
2(3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32) --> 6<em>x</em> - 8<em>y</em> = 64
Add the equations.
-6<em>x </em>+ 18<em>y</em> = -114
6<em>x</em> - 8<em>y</em> = 64
+_____________
0 + 10<em>y</em> = -50
10<em>y</em> = -50
<em>y</em> = -5
Substitute -5 for y into one of the original equations to find x.
3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32
3<em>x</em> - 4(-5) = 32
3<em>x</em> + 20 = 32
3<em>x</em> = 12
<em>x</em> = 4
Check work by plugging the <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-values into both of the original equations.
-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38
-2(4) + 6(-5) = -38
-8 - 30 = 38
38 = 38
3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32
3(4) - 4(-5) = 32
12 + 20 = 32
32 = 32
Answer:
<em>x</em> = 4 and <em>y</em> = -5; (4, -5).
