30.72 rounded to the nearest tenth is 30.7
Alright, so for AB and CD to be parallel, CX and DX would have to be equal, as is with AX and BX. In addition, for CD and AB to be parallel, all sides in both triangles are either equal or not all sides in even one triangle are equal. Therefore, CD is not 3. In addition, two sides of a triangle combined must be greater than the third, so that leaves 5, 4, and 2 for CD. If it was 5, that would mean that all sides are equal, so that leaves 4 and 2. However, I don't see anything to prove either one right, sorry:/
The statement at the top says that the triangles are 'similar'. That means that the corresponding angles are equal, and each pair of corresponding sides have the same ratio. From the 4 and the 8, you can see that each side in the small one is 1/2 the length of the corresponding side in the big one. So the missing sides are 1/2 the length of the 7 and the 12.
Answer:
We want to simplify:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5)
The first step is to write the first term as a single rational number.
We know that:
3*1 = 3
and 4/4 = 1
then:
3*1 = 3*(4/4) = (3*4)/4 = 12/4
We do this because we want to have the same denominator in both numbers, so we can directly add them.
Then we get:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (12/4 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (13/4)*(3/5)
And remember that in the multiplication of rational numbers the numerator are multiplied together and the same for the denominators, then we get:
(13/4)*(3/5) = (13*3)/(4*5)
If we solve the multiplications we get:
(13*3)/(4*5) = (39/20)
Now, we can notice that in the numerator we have two prime numbers, 13 and 3.
And in the denominators, we have a 4 (which is equal to 2*2) and a 5.
So the prime numbers in the numerator and the denominator are all different, this means that we can not simplify it furthermore.
Then we have:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (39/20)
