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

Andru [333]

Answer:

subtract 7 from both sides

2x < 7- 7

subtract 7 from 7 to get 0

2x < 0

product of two numbers is < 0 if one is > 0 and the other is < 0. since 2> 0, must be < 0.

x < 0

A)

\bf log_4(x)=3\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;log_{{  a}}{{  a}}^x\implies x\qquad \qquad &#10;\boxed{{{  a}}^{log_{{  a}}x}=x}\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{we'll use this}\\&#10;\textit{cancellation rule}&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;4^{\cfrac{}{}log_4(x)}=4^3\implies x=4^3

b)

\bf 3^{2y}=81\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;81=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\&#10;\qquad 3^4&#10;\end{cases}\implies 3^{2y}=3^4\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{same base}\\&#10;exponents\\&#10;must\ be\\&#10;the\ same&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;2y=4\implies y=\cfrac{4}{2}\implies y=2

PLZ HURRY carrie is 3 times as old as Eva. in 15 years Carrie will be twice as old as Eva. how old are they both now
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Age of Eva =  15 Years

Age of Carrie = 45 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Eva be X years

Given that Carrie is 3 times as old as Eva

Therefore age of Carrie = 3X YEARS.

__________________________________________________________

After 15 years

Age of Eva = X + 15

Age of Carrie = 3X +15

Given that Carrie is twice as old as Eva

so according to this condition

age of Carrie = 2*Age of Eva

Substituting the age of Eva and Carrie

3X +15 = 2*(X + 15 )

=> 3X +15 = 2X +30

=> 3X - 2X = 30 - 15

=> X = 15

Since X was assumed age of Eva so age of Eva is 15 years

age of Carrie = 3X years = 3*15 = 45 years.
