Answer:

<u>Let's verify is the corresponding sides have same ratio:</u>

  • ΔABC, sides: 6, 9, 11
  • ΔXYZ, sides: 21, 31.5, 38.5

<u>Ratios:</u>

  • 6/21 = 2/7  (divide by 3)
  • 9/31.5 = 2/ 7 (divide by 4.5)
  • 11/38.5  = 2/7 (divide by 5.5)

The ratios are same, so the triangles <u>are similar</u>

  • Yes, the sides are all proportional

The scale factor (ΔABC to ΔXYZ) is <u>2/7</u> (or ΔXYZ to ΔABC is 7/2 = <u>3.5</u>)

For the level 3 course, exam hours cost twice as much as workshop hours, workshop hours cost twice as much as lecture hours. How
natulia [17]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Cost of lectures = $7.33 per hour

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Let e the cost of the exam hours

Let w be the cost of the workshop hours

Let l be the cost of the lecture hours.

We know from our problem that exam hours cost twice as much as workshop, so:

e=2w equation (1)

We also know that workshop hours cost twice as much as lecture hours, so:

w=2l equation (2)

Finally, we also know that 3hr exams 24hr workshops  and 12hr lectures cost $528, so:

3e+24w+12l=528 equation (1)

Now, lets find the value of l:

Step 1.  Solve for l in equation (3)

3e+24w+12l=528

12l=528-3e-24w equation (4)

Step 2. Replace equation (1) in equation (4) and simplify

12l=528-3e-24w

12l=528-3(2w)-24w

12l=528-6w-24w

12l=528-30w equation (5)

Step 3. Replace equation (2) in equation (5) and solve for l

12l=528-30w

12l=528-30(2l)

12l=528-60l

72l=528

l=\frac{528}{72}

l=\frac{22}{3}

l=7.33

Cost of lectures  = $7.33 per hour

On a december day, the probability of snow is .30. the probability of a "cold" day is .50. the probability of snow and "cold" we
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Events A and B are independent if the following holds true:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B)

where P(A ∩ B) is the probability of A and B, P(A) is the probability of A, and P(B) is the probability of B.

Setting A = "snow" and B = "cold weather", and plugging in the above numbers will give you the answer.

What is the answer to the equation 5x=2x+20?
Agata [3.3K]

I don't know.  But I know how to find it.  Let's work it out together:

                                              <u>5x  =  2x + 20</u>

Subtract  2x  from each side:    3x  =  20

Divide each side by  3 :              <em>x  =  20/3</em>  or    ( 6 and 2/3 ).
