Answer:

2.7 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles have the same angles, and all side lengths (or other distances) of one triangle have the same scaling factor to the side lengths of the other triangle.

so, we know the relation between the 2 baselines is 2/3, as this is the factor to turn the baseline of the large triangle into the baseline of the smaller triangle.

in other words

EF = BC × 2/3

2 = 3 × 2/3

correct

how do we calculate the area of a triangle ?

Area = baseline × height / 2

from BAC we know

Area = 6

baseline = 3

height = ?

6 = 3 × height / 2

12 = 3 × height

height = 4

aha !

now, EDF has a height too that we need to calculate is Area. and this height has the same scaling factor compared to the larger triangle as the side lengths : 2/3

so, for EDF we know

Area = ?

baseline = 2

height = 4 × 2/3 = 8/3

therefore, the area is

Area = (2 × 8/3) / 2 = (16/3) / 2 = 8/3 = 2.66666... ≈ 2.7

the shirt answer would be :

we know from the 2 baselines that the scaling factor for each distance is 2/3.

for the area we need to multiply 2 distances, so that means we have to multiply both by 2/3. and so on the formula for the area we have to use 2/3 × 2/3.

2/3 × 2/3 = 4/9

=>

Area small = Area large × 4/9 = 6 × 4/9 = 24/9 = 8/3 ≈ 2.7

If a kid was playing for 4 hours and he did 9 activitys how much time did each activity take
nadezda [96]

Answer:

26.6667 minutes or 0.444 hours per activity.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he spent an equal amount of time on each activity, then it would have to be divided equally: 4hours/9

In minutes:

4 x 60 = 240 minutes

240/9

26.6667 minutes per activity.

In Hours:

4/9

0.444 hours per activity.

What is the value of b in the equation (y)*
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the exponent rule that   \frac{1}{x^{n}} = x^{-n}

In this case, \frac{1}{y^{24}}  = y^{-24}

Set that equal to (y^{b})^{4}:

(y^{b})^{4} = y^{-24}

Apply the exponent rule that (x^{m})^{n} = x^{mn} so now you get:

y^{4b} = y^{-24}

Since the base is y for both sides of the equation, just set the exponents equal to each other and solve for b.

4b = -24

divide each side by 4 to get:

b = -6

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! The length of a rectangle is three times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 56 cm, find its area.
Alexus [3.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

w = width

l = 3w

perimeter p = 2l + 2w = 56

using the identity of the first equation

p = 2(3w) + 2w = 56

6w + 2w = 56

8w = 56

w = 7 cm

l = 3w = 3×7 = 21 cm

so, the area is

l×w = 21×7 = 147 cm²
