Answer: The area of the triangle with the perimeter of 540 cm is approximately 10200 cm²
More exactly: 10182 cm²
Step-by-step explanation: 
240 × 84.85 = 10182
To get the height of the triangle, it takes some trigonometry;
Given 3 sides of a triangle, it is possible to calculate the angles using the Law of cosines and the formula 
We will need the measure of angle A, then use the sine of A to get the height of the line from angle C perpendicular to the base, side b.
We can use the dimensions given in the proportions and then multiply by 10 because the sides given add to a perimeter of 54, one tenth of the 540 cm of the actual triangle. The angles of the similar triangles are congruent.
side a = 19, side b = 24, side c = 11
24² + 11² - 19² is 576 + 121 - 361 = 336
2(24)(11) = 528
cos A = 336 / 528 that is 0.636364
= 50.47°
sin(50.47) = 0.77129
0.77129 × 11 = 8.48 is the height Rounding to 8.5 would be reasonable for this height
Using rounded values here to calculate Area :
85 × 240/2 = 10200 cm²
Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
Since triangles are similar, so their corresponding sides would be in proportion.
Therefore,

Answer:
the previous population was 62,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The current population of a city = 83,700
The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.
We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.
Let the previous population be p
p +(35% × p) = 83,700
p + 0.35p = 83,700
1.35p = 83,700
p =
p = 62,000
Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.
Answer:
Scale factor, K = -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Dilation of any image changes its size and the shape remains same.
The scale factor is the ratio of dilated image to original image.
Dilation rule: (x, y) → (kx, ky), where k is the scale factor.
It means k = x₂/x₁ or y₂/y₁
K = -5/20 = -1/4 or K = -4/16 = -1/4.
<u>The negative value of scale factor (K) indicates dilations with 180 degree rotation of the dilated image.</u>
Hence the scale factor is K = -1/4.
