Answer:
17.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of clean clothes to dirty clothes = 3 : 5
Clean clothes = 3
Dirty clothes = 5
Total ratio = 3 + 5 = 8
Total clothing article = 46
how many were clean
Number of clean clothes = ratio of clean clothes / total ratio × total clothing article
= 3/8 × 46
= 0.375 × 46
= 17.25
Check the picture below
if that red segment, GJ, is parallel to the AE base segment of the triangle, then, the segment GJ is the midsegment of the triangle, and by the side-splitter theorem, those two triangles are similar.
1) m∠1 = 360°/8 = 45° . . . . . a regular octagon is 8-way rotationally symmetrical, so each sector is 1/8 of a circle.
2) m∠2 = (180° -45°)/2 = 67.5° . . . . . . the angles of a triangle add to 180°. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.
