Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/4 can be written as 5/4

5 5/6 can be written as 35/6

so divide (5/4)/(35/6)

= (5/4)*(6/35)

=(1/4)*(6/7)

=6/28

simplified = 3/14

Alexandria High School scored 37 points in a football game. Six points are awarded for each touchdown. After each
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Five touchdowns were made in the game

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of touchdowns made during the game.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of touch downs be x

So the total points earned through touchdowns is 6 * x = 6x

The number of scores is 10 times

Let the number of extra kick be y which means that the number of conversions will be (y-1)

So the total number of score times will be ;

x + y + y-1 = 10

x + 2y = 11 •••••••••(i)

Now let’s work with points

Touch down points = 6 * x = 6x

Points from extra kick = 1 * y = y

Points from 2-point conversions = 2(y-1) = 2y - 2

So;

6x + y + 2y -2 = 37

6x + 3y = 37 + 2

6x + 3y = 39

divide through by 3

2x + y = 13 •••••••(ii)

So now solve simultaneously

From ii, y = 13 - 2x

Put this into i

x + 2(13-2x) = 11

x + 26 - 4x = 11

x -4x = 11-26

-3x = -15

x = -15/-3

x = 5

There are five touchdowns in the game

substitute the values in:
122.12=L(8.7)

Solve for L. Divide by 8.7 to isolate L.

L≈14.04 feet

1. Are the polygons similar?
jeyben [28]

The polygons are similar.

This is because dividing the corresponding sides forms the same ratio, as shown by the three equations below

35/28 = 1.25

25/20 = 1.25

(15.5)/(12.4) = 1.25

So the larger figure on the right has side lengths that are 1.25 times larger compared to the corresponding sides of the figure on the left.

You'll need to flip the figure on the left so that the side labeled "20" is along the top, and the "28" is along the bottom.

After this flip happens, also note that the angle arc markings match up. The bottom pairs of angles of each figure are shown with a single arc, while the top angles are shown as double arcs. This helps visually show which angles pair up and are congruent to one another.

Because we have similar proportions as discussed earlier, and congruent pairs of angles like this, this shows the two figures are similar quadrilaterals. The one on the right is simply an enlarged scaled up copy of the figure on the left.
