Answer:

side length of larger square = 24 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

the smaller square has an area of 256 square meters. the areas of the two squares have a ratio of 4:9

Area of smaller square to larger square ratio is 4:9

Let 'area' be the area of larger square

Lets make a proportion using the given ratio and area of smaller square

\frac{4}{9} =\frac{256}{area}

cross multiply it

4 area = 256  times 9

Divide both sides by 4

area= 576

Area of larger square = 576 square meters

Are of square is (side )^2

side^2= 576

Take square root on both sides

side = 24

side length of larger square = 24 meters

<span>A scale factor is the ratio of two similar geometric figures of their corresponding sides. The scale factor is calculated by locating the corresponding sides on each figure. We do as follows:

256/x = 4/9
x = 576 m^2

side length = 24 m

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. </span>

aleksandrvk [35]
I believe there is a 1/20 chance that Mrs. Galvan will pick a black pin. Since there are 20 pens, each pen has an equal chance of getting picked. For example, you have 2 pens and one of them is blue. The chance of me getting the blue pen is 1/2 or a 50% chance. So your answer will be 1/20 chance.

The area of a rectangle is 265.5 m2. If the length is 18 m, what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

65.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Find the width of the rectangle.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is

A = lw

Data:

A = 265.5 m²

l =     18    m

Calculation:

265.5 = 18w

w = 265.5/18 = 14.75 m

Step 2. Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

P = 2(l + w) = 2(18 + 14.75) = 2 × 32.75 = 65.5 m

The perimeter of the rectangle is 65.5 m.

A pilot of a helicopter plans to release a bucket of water on a forest fire. The height y in feet of water t seconds after its r
frosja888 [35]
You’re gonna have to use the quadratic formula here and a bit of thinking. We know y is height, and once it touches the ground, it will be 0.

(-b +- sqrt b^2 - 4ac)/2a
2 +- sqrt(4 + 48(400))/-32
(2 +- 138.58)/-32
We don’t want a negative time because it’ll make no sense. So do subtraction

(2-138.58)/-32 = 4.27 seconds aka 4.3 seconds
