Answer:

5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor for linear measures, such as perimeter, is the square root of the scale factor for areas. The ratio of larger area to smaller is ...

... 75/12 = 25/4

so the ratio of the larger perimeter to the smaller is ...

... √(25/4) = 5/2

A bag contains 5 blue marbles, 2 green marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. What is the probability of choosing one green marble and t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of marbles = 5 + 2 + 3 = 10

Probability of choosing 1 green marble = 2/10

Probability of choosing 1 yellow marble = 3/10

Notice (and this is important) that the denominator didn't change. Why?

Because you replaced the first marble into the bag. That word replacement is critical in a problem of this nature. There is the term non replacement which means that the second draw would have a denominator of 9.

So what is the probability of P(green then yellow)?

P(green then yellow) = 3/10 * 2/10 = 6/100

Answer: P(green then yellow) = 3/50 because 6 / 100 reduces.

The area of the circle is 144π m2<br><br> What is the diameter of the circle?

Over [174]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

Area of Circle = $\pi r^2$

$\pi = pi \\r = radius$

They told us that for this circle, the area is $144\pi m^2$

If you put it back into the formula for area of a circle we get:

Area of Circle = $\pi r^2$

$144\pi = \pi r^2$

Divide both sides by $\pi$ .

144 = $r^2$

Now we want to solve for r (r = radius).

You need to square root each side

$\sqrt{144} = \sqrt{r^2}$

$12 = r$

So now we know the radius, $r = 12$ metres

Also remember that

Diameter = $2r$

So,

Diameter = 2 times 12 = 24 metres

Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two-c

natali 33 [55]

Answer: By the slope formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ABC is a triangle (shown below),

In which A≡(6,8), B≡(2,2) and C≡(8,4)

And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Prove: DE║AC and DE = AC/2

Proof:

Since, And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Therefore, By mid point theorem,

coordinate of D are $(\frac{2+6}{2} , \frac{2+8}{2} ) = (\frac{8}{2} , \frac{10}{2} )= (4,5)$

Coordinate of E are $(\frac{2+8}{2} , \frac{2+4}{2} ) = (\frac{10}{2} , \frac{6}{2} )= (5,3)$

By the distance formula,

$DE=\sqrt{(5-4)^2+(3-5)^2}=\sqrt{5}$

$AC=\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(4-8)^2}=2\sqrt{5}$

By the slope formula,

Slope of AC = $\frac{4-8}{8-6} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$

Slope of DE = $\frac{3-5}{5-4} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2$

Statement Reason

1. The coordinate of D are (4,5) and 1. By the midpoint formula

the coordinate of E are (5,3)

2. The length of DE = √5 2. By the Distance formula

The length AC = 2√5 ⇒ Segment DE

is half the length of segment AC

3. The slope of DE = -2 and the 3. By the slope formula

slope of AC = -2

4. DE║AC 4. Slopes of parallel lines are equal
