Answer:

(i) Triangle ABC and triangle ADE are similar triangles. Hence, their ratios will be same.

Ratio of DE to BC is 4:6 => 2:3

To find area, we need to raise the ratio of length to power 2

(2/3)² = 16/x

4/9 = 16/x

x = (16*9)/4

x = 36cm²

Therefore, area of triangle ABC is 36cm²

(ii) Ratio of DE to BC is 4:8 => 1:2

(1/2)² = 25/x

1/4 = 25/x

x = 25*4

x = 100cm²

Therefore, area of triangle ABC is 100cm²

I'm not sure about the third question, sorry

The radius r of a circle is increasing at a rate of 7 centimeters per minute. (a) find the rate of change of the area when r = 1
VikaD [51]
Dr /dt = 7

A = pi r^2

dA / dr = 2pir

dA/dt = dA/dr  * dr/dt = 2pir * 7  = 14pir

when r = 12   rate of change of the area =  14*pi*12  =  168pi

            =  527.79 cm^2 / minute to nearest hundredth

A box is 50 cm long. Which of these is closest to the length of this box in feet? (1 inch = 2.54 cm)
goblinko [34]

First, convert cm to inches.

50/2.54 is roughly 19.69

There are 12 inches in a foot, so divide the 19.69 by 12.

19.69/12 is roughly 1.64

So the answer is C
