Answer:

The perimeter of QRS is 137.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given interval angles, we can see that the two triangles are congruent

so it is expected that the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal

this is because; 83 + 53 + 44 = 180

Now, let us work with the side facing the angle marked 53 in both triangles

For the smaller, we have the measure as 16

for the bigger, we have the measure as 44

So the scale factor here is 44/16 = 11/4 = 2.75

We have to multiply the measure of the sides of the smaller triangle by 2.75 to get that of the bigger triangle

in similar vein, we have to multiply the perimeter we have in the smaller triangle by 2.75 to get that of the bigger triangle

The perimeter of the smaller would be the sum of the side lengths

we have this as;

14 + 20 + 16 = 50

So the perimeter of the bigger triangle would be;

2.75 * 50 = 137.5

A community swimming pool is a rectangular prism that is 30 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. The wading pool is half as

topjm [15]

Answer:

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of rectangular prism, we get the respective formulas for the volumes of the community swimming pool and the wadling pool, respectively:

Community swimming pool

$V_{c} = l\cdot w\cdot h (1)$

Wading pool

$V_{w} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w (2)$

Where:

l – Length of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

h – Depth of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

w – Width of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

$V_{c}$ – Volume of the community swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

$V_{w}$ – Volume of the wading swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

The ratio of the volume of the community swimming pool to the volume of the wadling pool is:

$\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{l\cdot w \cdot h}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w} (3)$

$\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4} }$

$\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = 4$

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.

Se corta una manzana en 12 partes, se comen ocho partes. Qué fracción simplificada a su mínima expresión representa la cantidad

lakkis [162]

Answer:

A. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que:

una manzana se corta en 12 partes y se comen ocho partes.

La fracción de manzanas consumidas = 8/12

= 2/3

La fracción de manzanas que quedan = valor original de la manzana que se corta - la fracción de la manzana que se come

La fracción de manzanas que quedan $=1- \dfrac{8}{12}$

La fracción de manzanas que quedan $=\dfrac{12-8}{12}$

La fracción de manzanas que quedan $=\dfrac{4}{12}$

A la fracción más baja; obtenemos = 1/3
