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

How many distinct products can be formed using two different integers from the given set: {–6, –5, –4, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
zhannawk [14.2K]

Number of distinct products that can be formed is 144

<h3>Permutation</h3>

Since we need to multiply two different integers to be selected from the set which contains a total of 12 integers. This is a permutation problem since we require distinct integers.

Now, for the first integer to be selected for the product, since we have 12 integers, it is to be arranged in 1 way. So, the permutation is ¹²P₁ = 12

For the second integer, we also have 12 integers to choose from to be arranged in 1 way. So, the permutation is ¹²P₁  = 12.

<h3>Number of distinct products</h3>

So, the number of distinct products that can be formed from these two integers are ¹²P₁ × ¹²P₁ = 12 × 12 = 144

So, the number of distinct products that can be formed is 144
