Answer:

let the ratio be in x 

a/q. 3x + 2x = 300000

 5x = 300000

x = 300000/5

x= 60000

Leona = 60000*3 = 180000

Janet = 60000*2 = 120000

hope it helps

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Break down the figure into two shapes.

SHAPE A: The larger one. We can infer the size of the bottom is 6 cm because it's the same size as it's top counterpart. Same goes for the left side, which will have a measure of 7 cm.

SHAPE B: The smaller one. We're going to use the same method as we did with the first one, and infer the lengths of the other sides using the existing ones.

To calculate area, it's length times width.

SHAPE A: Its two side measures are 6 and 7, which equates to 42 cm^2.

SHAPE B: Its two side measures are 2 and 3, which equates to 6 cm^2.

If you add the two, the total area is 44 cm^2.

What is the first step in proving that the sum of the measures of triangle XYZ is 180 degrees?

mylen [45]

In geometry, the definition of a triangle is a two-dimensional closed figure with three sides. Aside from this, it is proven that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. This is a triangle's innate property. Therefore, any closed shape with three sides is a triangle and it follows that the sum of the three angles is equal to 180°.

It is logical therefore, that the first step in proving this is by using the definition of a triangle.
