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}

Alvin is planning to be out of town for the day, so he asks a friend to dog-sit his 3 dogs. Each dog eats 0.5 pounds of food eve
german

Answer:

2 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate how many pounds he needs for one day:

3(0.5)=1.5 pounds for each day Alvin is gone ( 3 represents his dogs, .5 is each dog's food)

Convert into ounces:

1.5*16=24 ounces for one day

Question: If dog food is sold in 12 oz cans, how many will he need?

24/12=2 cans

Thus, he will need 2 cans

Denzel wants to work out the density of a block of wood the block of wood is in the shape of the cuboid
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Density = 1.094g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 17.7cm

Width = 8.3cm

Height = 13.0cm

Mass = 2090g

See attachment

Required

Determine the density of the wood

First, we calculate the volume of the wood.

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Substitute values for Length, Width and Height

Volume = 17.7cm * 8.3cm * 13.0cm

Volume = 1909.83cm^3

The density is:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density = \frac{2090g}{1909.83cm^3}

Density = 1.094g/cm^3<em> --- approximated</em>
