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}

A^2 + 9 = 36 now solve subtract 9 from both sides to get a^2 = 27 then find the square root of 27 and that should be your answer so like 5.196 something

81.08% of 37 hours<br> (Answer in minutes please)
Fofino [41]
It would be: 37 × 0.8108 = 30 hours (approx.)

Now, we know, 1 hour = 60 min.
so, 30 hours = 60 × 30 = 1800 min.

In short, Your Answer would be 1800 min

Hope this helps!

A rectangular board has an area of 648 square centimeters. The triangular part of the board has an area of 162 square centimeter
maksim [4K]

Answer:

25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the event that the dart lands inside the triangle.

We have been given that a rectangular board has an area of 648 square centimeters. The triangular part of the board has an area of 162 square centimeters.

We know that probability of an event represents the chance that an event will happen.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable no. of events}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}

\text{Probability that dart lands inside the triangle}=\frac{\text{Area of triangle}}{\text{Area of rectangle}}

\text{Probability that dart lands inside the triangle}=\frac{162}{648}

\text{Probability that dart lands inside the triangle}=0.25

Convert into percentage:

0.25\times 100\%=25\%

Therefore, the probability that dart lands inside the triangle is 25%.
