When two shapes are mathematically similar, that means that all their sides are in a proportion.
We know the sieds of EH and AD, and so we can find the proportion of the shapes using these two sides.
EH/AD = 6/9 = 2/3
The ratio of EFGH to ABCD is 2:3
Now we have to find BC.
Becuase they're in proportion, we can form this equation:
= 
Cross multiply:
24 = 2*BC
Divide both sides by 2:
BC = 12 cm
Good luck!
Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to consider the formula of the perimeter = 2·length + 2·width.
If we call "x" to the length ⇒ width = x + 12 .
Perimeter = 2x + 2·(x + 12) ⇒ Perimeter = 2x + 2x + 24
⇒Perimeter = 4x + 24. ⇒ 76 = 4x + 24 ⇒ 76 - 24 = 4x ⇒52 = 4x
⇒ 52/4 = x ⇒ x = 13.
So, the length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.
Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle ZYW is congruent to angle YWX, so the 3 angles must add to 180.
(3x - 5) + 90 + 2x = 180
5x + 85 = 180
5x = 95
x = 19
Answer:
a) 0.8333
b) 0.75
c) 0.8181 or 0.9090
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
The probability the visitor selects an authentic painting is
10/12 = 0.8333
b)
Since the opinion of the expert does not depend on your choice, the events are <em>independent</em>, so the probability that the expert says is authentic and it really is, is
0.8333*0.9 = 0.75
c)
If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is not, then there are 11 paintings of which 9 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is
9/11= 0.8181
If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is, then there are 11 paintings of which 10 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is
10/11= 0.9090
