For each pair figures, find the ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second. 14mm 7mm

Paraphin [41]

The ratio of the area of the <u>first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u> is 4:1

<h3>Ratio of the areas of similar figures </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the ratio of the area of the<u> first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u>

<u />

The two figures are similar

From one of the theorems for similar polygons, we have that

If the scale factor of the sides of <u>two similar polygons</u> is m/n then the ratio of the areas is (m/n)²

Let the base length of the first figure be ,m = 14 mm

and the base length of the second figure be, n = 7 mm

∴ The ratio of their areas will be

$(\frac{14 \ mm}{7 \ mm})^{2}$

$= \frac{196 \ mm^{2} }{49\ mm^{2} }$

$=\frac{4}{1}$

= 4:1

Hence, the ratio of the area of the <u>first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u> is 4:1

Georgina knows the inequality is true, but she cannot remember what number is in the denominator.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

<h3>D. 12</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Which number could be the missing number?

Given the inequality expression, 1/10 > 1/ ?

We are to fine the missing number that will make the inequality true;

Cross multiply:

1 * x > 1*10

x > 10

Hence the value of x greater than 10 is the answer. From the options, the only value greater than 10 is 12. Hence 12 is the correct answer.

All 231 students in math club went on a field trip some rode in vans that held 7 people and some rode on buses that held 25 peop

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

8 vans

7 buses

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be "b" buses

and "v" vans

Since 7 people is the capacity of vans, the total capacity is

7v

Also, since 25 people is the capacity of 1 bus, the total capacity is

25b

In total 231 people, so we can write our first equation as:

7v + 25b = 231

Now, we know there are 15 vehicles (bus + vans) in total, so we can write our 2nd equation as:

v + b = 15

Now, we solve for v and b. Let's solve the 2nd equation for v and substitute that into 1st and solve for b first:

v + b = 15

v = 15 - b

Now,

$7v + 25b = 231\\7(15-b) + 25b = 231\\105-7b+25b=231\\18b=126\\b=7$

Hence, there are 7 buses

Since 15 vehicles in total, the number of vans is:

15 - 7 = 8 vans

So,

8 vans

7 buses
