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}

I say, just take a minute and remember why you are doing it. If you love it, just remember the love that you get from it. If you don't love it, then just think of it as getting experience for something else in life.

I get nervous before my cross country/track/half marathon races and all I think about is why I'm doing it in the first place.

Hope it helps!

The perimeter of a rectangular wooden deck is 90 feet. The deck's length, l, is 5 feet less than 4 times its width, w. Which sys
lianna [129]

Answer:

The system of equation used to find the dimension of the wooden deck in feet are \left \{ {{l=4w-5} \atop {90=2(l+w)}} \right..

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of deck = 90 feet.

We need to find the system of equation used to determine the dimension in feet of the wooden deck.

Solution:

Let the length of the deck be 'l'.

Let the width of the deck be 'w'.

Now Given:

The deck's length, l, is 5 feet less than 4 times its width, w.

So we can say that;

Length of the deck is equal to 4 times width minus 5.

framing in equation form we get;

l=4w-5  ⇒ Equation 1

Now we know that;

Perimeter of the rectangle is given by 2 times Length times width of the rectangular deck.

framing in equation form we get;

90=2(l+w) ⇒ Equation 2

Hence The system of equation used to find the dimension of the wooden deck in feet are \left \{ {{l=4w-5} \atop {90=2(l+w)}} \right..
