Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the triangles are similar,

then the ratio of their sides must be the same.

in this case you are dealing with  2 longest sides and the 2 shortest sides.

We are asked to find the y (the length of the shortest side of the blue triangle)

because they are similar, we can form a ratio with their sides:

Purple Long Side / Blue Long Side = Purple Short Side / Purple Long side

100 / 80 = 30 / y

100y = (30)(80)

y = (30)(80) / 100

y = 24 cm

Answer:

y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Since these triangles are similar, you can set up a proportion like this:</u>

<u />\frac{100}{80} =\frac{30}{y}

→Cross multiply:

\frac{100y}{2400}

→Divide 2400 by 100:

y = 24

Three Texas drovers met on a highway and began to dicker as follows:
Alik [6]

Answer:

  • Jim's: 7
  • Duke's: 21
  • Hank's: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J, D, and H represent the drove sizes of Jim, Duke, and Hank.

  2(H -6 + 1) = (J +6 -1) . . . . . Hank's offer

  3(D -14 +1) = (H +14 -1) . . . . Duke's offer

  6(J -4 +1) = (D +4 -1) . . . . . . Jim's offer

These equations can be simplified to ...

  2H - J = 15

  3D - H = 52

  6J - D = 21

__

<u>Solution</u>

Adding twice the second equation to the first gives ...

  2(3D -H) +(2H -J) = 2(52) +(15)

  6D -J = 119

Adding 6 times the third equation to this one gives ...

  6(6J -D) +(6D -J) = 6(21) +(119)

  35J = 245

  J = 7

Using this value in the third equation gives ...

  6(7) -D = 21

  42 -21 = D = 21

Using the value of J in the first equation gives ...

  2H -7 = 15

  H = (15 +7)/2 = 11

Then the solution is (J, D, H) = (7, 21, 11).

Jim's drove had 7 animals; Duke's drove had 21 animals; Hank's drove had 11 animals.

dangina [55]

Answer: The fraction of the gifts were for birthdays = \dfrac{33}{100}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: fraction of gifts for weddings = \dfrac{3}{10}

fraction of gifts for baby showers = \dfrac{37}{100}

Rest of the gifts = 1-\dfrac3{10}-\dfrac{37}{100}

=\dfrac{100-30-37}{100}\ \ \ [\text{Making like fractions}]\\\\=\dfrac{100-67}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{33}{100}

Hence, the fraction of the gifts were for birthdays = \dfrac{33}{100}.
