Answer:

Not larger or smaller; the areas are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

In the first case, h = 3 ft and b = 2.5 ft.  This results in an area of 3.75 ft^2.

In the second case, h = 2.5 ft and b = 3 ft.  The area is the same:  3.75 ft^2.

This is because A = (1/2)(b)(h) has the same value regardless of the order in which b and h  are used as multipliers.

There is no difference in the areas of the two signs.  The areas are the same.

Three kids play tennis at the same tennis courts. Mark plays every fourth day, David plays every seventh day and Bryan plays eve
jonny [76]

Answer:

Wednesday (9 weeks later) = 10th October.

Step-by-step explanation:

We label the days with the initials of the names.

M= 4

D = 7

B = 6

LCM of 6 +7 = 42

LCM of 6+7 + 4 = 84

We find 84 is the amount of days we need to add on to july 18th

We first find the weeks 84/7 = 9 weeks.

As Wednesday July 18th is exclusive it would be 84 days after this event.

18+ 84 = 102 days.

31 days in july = 31

31 days in Aug = 31

30 days in Sept = 30

= 92

102-92 = 10

We now know date is Wednesday 10th October

We can check 84 days = 9 weeks

13 days in July makes 31st july

31 days in Aug makes 31st Aug

30 days in Sept makes 30th Sept

= 74 days + 10 days = 84

10th October is the checked date and we know it is also a Wednesday as Wednesday had stayed exclusive and prove that there are 7 days in the week to account x 9, to account for an exact 9 weeks later duration.

Pythagorean Theorem Word
diamong [38]

Answer:

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached diagram, Point A is the starting point and C is the end point. We want to determine the distance from A to C.

The path driven forms a right triangle in which AC is the hypotenuse.

We therefore use the<u> Pythagorean Theorem</u> to solve for the AC.

Pythagorean Theorem: Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2

|AC|^2=32^2+24^2\\|AC|^2=1600\\|AC|=\sqrt{1600}\\ |AC|=40$ miles

The  straight  line distance from the starting point is 40 miles.

Determine whether the equation represents a direct variation. If it does, find the constant of variation. 2y=5x+1
coldgirl [10]
It does represent a direct variation.

Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x

Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2  + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2
