Answer:

The perimeter of the new pentagon is 27\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

so

To find the perimeter of the new pentagon, multiply the perimeter of the original pentagon by the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

z=3/2=1.5

The perimeter of the new pentagon is equal to

(18)*1.5=27\ cm

How to answer this? A farmer had 455 ducks and chickens. He sold 2/5 of the ducks and bought another 104 chickens. As a result,
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 25

(b) $4816

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the starting amount of ducks is d, and the starting amount of chickens is c. Since there are only ducks and chickens, we can say that d + c= 455.

Next, the farmer sells 2/5 of the ducks, so we subtract 2/5 of the ducks so that the ending duck amount is d - (2/5)d = (3/5) d

After that, the farmer buys another 104 chickens, so we add 104 chickens to the current amount of chickens to get the ending chicken number as 104+c

Given the ending duck and chicken count, we can say that the ending farm animal count (we can represent this as a) is (3/5)d + 104 + c = a

The number of ducks is 2/3 the total number of animals at the end, so (3/5)d = (2/3)a

Let's list our equations out so it is easier to solve:

d+c = 455

(3/5)d + 104 + c = a

(3/5)d = (2/3)a

We have three equations and need to solve for three variables. One common variable in all three equations is d, so it might help if we put everything in terms of d.

Starting with d+c=455, if we subtract d from both sides, we get c=455-d. We can substitute this in the second equation to get

(3/5)d + 104 + 455 - d = a

-(2/5)d + 559 = a

(3/5)d = (2/3)a

Next, we can substitute for a. If we multiply both sides by 3 and then divide by 2 in (3/5)d = (2/3)a , we get

(9/10)d = a

Substitute that in to the second equation to get

-(2/5)d + 559 = (9/10) d

-(4/10)d + 559 = (9/10) d

add (4/10)d to both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

(13/10)d = 559

multiply both sides by (10/13) to isolate the coefficient

d = 430

Therefore, the starting number of ducks is 430 and the starting amount of chickens is 455-430 = 25

For (b), 2/5ths of the ducks are sold, so this is (430) * (2/5) = 172. Each duck is sold for 28 dollars, so this is 172*28=$4816 as the total price

Answer:

x=14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=\sqrt{h^2-a^2} \\

x=\sqrt{28^2-24^2}

x=\sqrt{784-576}

x=\sqrt{208}

x=14.4

Tamika wants to double the volume of a square pyramid. What should she do?
ella [17]
To efficiently double the volume of a square pyramid, you need to double the height of the pyramid. 

<span>V = (1/3)Ah where A is the area of the base. If you double the height and leave A unchanged, the volume will also be doubled (replace h with 2h in the formula).</span>
