Answer:

Part 1) The length of the longest side of ∆ABC  is 4 units

Part 2) The ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF is \frac{1}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the length of the longest side of ∆ABC

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

The ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the length of the longest side of ∆ABC

y ----> the length of the longest side of ∆DEF

so

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{1}{10}

y=40\ units

substitute

\frac{1}{10}=\frac{x}{40}

solve for x

x=(40)\frac{1}{10}

x=4\ units

therefore

The length of the longest side of ∆ABC  is 4 units

Part 2) Find the ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of ∆ABC

y ----> the area of ∆DEF

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{1}{10}

so

z^2=(\frac{1}{10})^2

z^2=\frac{1}{100}

therefore

The ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF is \frac{1}{100}

Complete the equation of the lines whose slope is 5 and y-intercept is (0,4)<br>y = ?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = 5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 4 = 5(x - 0)

That is point-slope form. I'm not sure if you want it in slope intercept form, but slope intercept form of the equation is -

y = 5x + 4
