Answer:
12 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Area= L x W
12x2=24
Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of each side in one triangle to
the corresponding side in the other one is always the same number.
We know what one pair of sides is ... 3.5 and 7 ... so we know that
each side in the first triangle is 1/2 as long as the corresponding side
in the other one.
So we can say with assurance that ...
y = 1/2 (x + 4)
and
x = 1/2 (3y) .
That's all the intelligence required for this problem. The rest is just algebra,
and I should not need to go through all the routine misery for you here.
When you solve this pair of equations slowly, carefully, and accurately,
you'll find that the sides of the triangles are ...
3.5, 8, 12
and
7, 16, 24 .
Given:
A rectangular piece of cloth (dimensions):
L = length of the rectangle
W = width of the rectangle
The area of the rectangle is:
A = L x W
If the cloth is cut along the diagonal, the area of one sail will be half the area of the rectangle:
A (one sail) = 1/2 (L x W) <span />
Answer:
2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because 3/6 is equal to 1/2 (6÷2 is 3). The whole number does not change, so 2 1/2.
