The ratio of the areas of similar polygons is 64: 16. What is the ratio of their sides

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The ratio of the areas of similar polygons is 64: 16, A₁:A₂=64: 16

We need to find the ratio of their sides. For similar polygons, the ratio of  the area is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

Let sides are x₁ and x₂. So,

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=(\dfrac{x_1}{x_2})^2\\\\\dfrac{x_1}{x_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}} \\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{64}{16}}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{4}

So, the required ratio is 8:4.

Does the addition problem show a way to add 27 + 38?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

a. yes

b. no

c. yes

d. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

For a, 27 + 38 can be broken apart. 27 is broken up by adding smaller numbers (20 + 7 = 27) and the same is done with 38 (30 + 8 = 38), so A and C shows a way to add 27 and 38. In C, the numbers are just put into a different order. B is not a way to add 27 and 38, because the sum is different.

27 + 38 = 65, however 20 + 70 + 38 = 128. The addition problem for D is a way to solve for 27 + 38, because it is broken up differently than A and C. They instead added the 20 and 30 together first, then split up 15 (from 8+7) into 10 and 5. So D is a way to solve, because it gets the same answer as 27 and 38 :D

Correct answers only please!
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

23.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to use some trigonometry to work out angle XVW. Since we are working out angles all of the trigonometric functions will have to be to the ⁻¹. The first thing we need to identify is will formula will we use out of the following:

Sin⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Tan⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

Cos⁻¹ = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 = Hypotenuse

4 = Opposite

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We know which formula to use because the length won't be in the triangle for example we will be using the Sin triangle because we don't have an adjacent. If we don't have an adjacent then the other formula's won't work.

Now we substitute in the values to find the value of angle XVW

Sin⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Sin⁻¹ = 4 ÷ 10

The value of angle XVW is 23.57817848

What is the mean median mode range of 3,14,7,12,4,9,16,4,8,20
gogolik [260]

First, order the number set from least to greatest:

3 , 4 , 4 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 20

Mean: You find the mean by combining all the terms, and dividing by the amount of the terms there are in the number set:

(3 + 4 + 4 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 20)/10

(97)/10 = 9.7

Mean: 9.7

Median: You find the median by first ordering the number set from least to greatest, and finding the middle number. Note that if there is a even number of numbers in the set, you find the mean with the two given median digits:

8 & 9 are the median numbers:

(8 + 9)/2 = (17)/2 = 8.5

Median: 8.5

Mode: The mode is the number(s) in the set that shows up the most:

Mode: 4 (shows up one more time than all other numbers)

Range:  The range can be found by subtracting the least number from the greatest number in the number set:

Range: 20 - 3 = 17

Range: 17
