1. The triangles above are similar. What is the ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters? (1 point)
1 answer:
Answer:
Ratio = 5/3
The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached is an image of the two triangles.
Since both triangles are similar, the ratio of their perimeter is equal to the ratio of each similar sides.
Ratio = P1/P2 = S1/S2
Similar side for triangle 1 S1 = 15ft
Similar side for triangle 2 S2 = 9ft
Substituting the values;
Ratio = 15ft/9ft = 5/3
Ratio = 5/3
The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3

The width of the insect is 0.17 cm and the height of the insect is 0.125 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The scale factor is given by dividing the measurement after scaling by the same measurement
The given drawing of the insect is larger than the actual insect.
The scale factor is 20: 1 which means 20 cm on the drawing is 1 cm on the actual insect.
Step 2:
To obtain the actual insect's dimensions, we divide the dimensions of the drawing by 20.
The width of the actual insect
The height of the actual insect
The width of the insect is 0.17 cm and the height of the insect is 0.125 cm.
