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}

Which is equal to (2x − 3y + 5z) − (−4x − y + 8z)?
Fittoniya [83]
(2x - 3y + 5z) - (-4x - y + 8z)
= 2x - 3y + 5z + 4x + y - 8z
= 6x - 2y - 3z

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

What is five x plus negative three equals fifteen
bearhunter [10]
You write the equation like this:
5x + (-3) = 15

But if you want to solve it then you do it like this:
5x + (-3) = 15
5x - 3 = 15
5x = 18
x = 18/5
