Answer:

2.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

that means two lengths of the triangle have to be multiplied.

and to have 2 similar triangles means that all lengths inside one triangle are the corresponding lengths inside the other triangle multiplied by the scaling factor f.

multiplying 2 if these lengths with each other means also including the square of the scaling factor (multiplying with the scaling factor twice).

so, if the area of triangle 1 is

"baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2 = 45 cm²

then the area of triangle 2 is

"baseline 2" × "height 2" / 2 =

= "baseline 1"×f × "height 1"×f /2 =

= "baseline 1" × "height 1" × f² / 2 =

= ("baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2) × f² =

= 45 × f² = 20 cm²

f² = 20/45 = 4/9

f = 2/3

so, for a side of ABC being 3.6cm long, that means the corresponding side in DEF is

3.6 × f = 3.6 × 2/3 = 7.2/3 = 2.4cm

stiks02 [169]
To determine the cost to fertilize the trees, you need to figure out how many kilograms of fertilizer are needed. With the information given, you can determine The number of grams needed to fertilize 1200 trees. To do this you would multiply 200 times 1200. This equals 240,000 grams. To convert this to kilograms, divide 240000g by 1000 g. Every group of 1000 g is 1 kg. The answer is 240 kilograms. Multiply 240 kg by the price of $2.75 per kilogram to get $660 as the cost.
