There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.
It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.
Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle
base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)
Plug in the numbers
x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5
The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm
Answer:
what was the first one.....the first song part
Step-by-step explanation:
So first of all we can't start by changing them both into improper fractions
So it would be:
5/2 divided by 13/8
From there you would do 5/2 * 8/13 which could convert to
5/1 * 4/13 which would be 20/13
Answer:
Mass of A = 5760 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area is given, so we can set-up a similarity equation to solve for k, proportionality constant. Here, we will relate both of them through k^2, because they are 2 dimensional (area). Thus
Surface Area of A = k^2 * Surface Area of B
28 = k^2 * 40.32
k^2 = 28/40.32
k^2 = 25/36
k = Sqrt (25/36)
k = 5/6
Now, we want to find mass (1 dimensional quantity), thus we can say:
Mass of A = k * Mass of B
Mass of A = (5/6) * (6912)
Mass of A = 5760 grams
Answer:
339.375 choose d
Step-by-step explanation:
Regular work 40 hours and 3.5 overtime hours
Overtime wage is 1.5 times the regular one
40×7.5+3.5×7.5×1.5=339.375
