8. The trapezoids are similar. The area of the smaller trapezoid is 131 m2. Find the area of the larger trapezoid to the nearest

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$3,726\ m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

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

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> corresponding side of the larger trapezoid

y----> corresponding side of the smaller trapezoid

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=64\ m$

$y=12\ m$

substitute

$z=\frac{64}{12}$

step 2

Find the area of the larger trapezoid

we know that

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

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> area of the larger trapezoid

y----> area of the smaller trapezoid

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{64}{12}$

$y=131\ m^{2}$

substitute

$(\frac{64}{12})^{2}=\frac{x}{131}$

$x=(\frac{4,096}{144})(131)$

$x=3,726\ m^{2}$

2. A bakery makes muffins and cookies. Muffins are sold 18 to a box and cookies are sold 25 to a bag. They do not sell individua

Ksivusya [100]

A) if 18 muffins = 1 box,
1020 muffins = 1020/18 boxes
= 56.67 boxes

So they used 56 full boxes.

b) if 25 cookies = 1 bag
2820 cookies = 2820/25 bags
= 112.8 bags

So they used 112 full bags.

c) the remainders from a and b represent muffins and cookies left over.

What is the value of x in the equation −x = 4 − 3x + 6?<br><br> A. 5<br> B. 10<br> C. −5<br> D. −10

Ann [662]

$-x = 4-3x+6$

Refine $4-3x + 6$

$-3x = 4+6$

$-3x = 10$

Add $3x$ to both sides:

$-x + 3x = -3x + 10 + 3x$

$2x = 10$

Divide both sides by 2 :

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10}{5}$

$x = 5$

Answer a

hope this helps!

I'm confused how you split the fraction

slava [35]

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 6/3
