they are 2 similar triangles, one is smaller than the other. they are in the ratio of 2:1,
hence 7x =56÷2
7x=28
x=4
I don't have my calculator handy just now. But just looking at that problem, why don't you try +20 and -45 and see if they do the job.
1 yard = 3 feet
2 yards = 6 feet
3 yards = 9 feet
area= L(W)
6(9)= 54 square ft
The plot of land has an area of 54 square feet.
The volume of the second prism is also ten times the volume of the first prism.
Let's assume that both prisms have:
width = 3 units
height = 4 units
Prism 1 length = 5 units
Prism 2 length = 50 units
Let's solve their respective volumes to compare...
Volume of prism 1 = length * width * height
= 5 * 3 * 4
= 60 units ^3
Volume of prism 2 = 50 * 3 * 4
= 600 units ^3
Prism 2/ prism 1 = 10
That means prism 2 is ten times the volume of prism 1.
