Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the triangle be a and that of the new one be a'.

a'/a = 3/1      Insert the value of a

a'/6 = 3        Multiply each side by 6

  a' = 18

The measure of a side of the new triangle is 18.

Answer: 18 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When a segment 'm' is dilated by a scale factor 'k' , then the measure of new dilated segment will be 'km'  [i.e. New side length =scale factor is multiplied to the original side-length].

Given : An equilateral triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3.

[Note an equilateral triangle has all its side-lengths are equal.]

Side-length of the original triangle = 6 units

Then, the measure of a side of the new triangle = Scale factor x Original side-length

= 3 x 6 = 18 units

Hence, the measure of a side of the new triangle = 18 units.

On a certain​ exam, Tony corrected 20 papers and found the mean for his group to be 70. Alice corrected the remaining 10 papers
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The mean of the combined group is 76.67 ≈ 77

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The sum of the grades in Tom's group is 20×70 = 1400
  2. The sum of grades in Alice's group is 10×90=900
  3. The sum of gradees in the combined group is =1400+900=2300
  4. Then the mean grade of the combined group is \frac{2300}{30}=76.67

where

  • 2300 is the sum of the all grades in the combined group
  • 30 is the total number of people in the group

Please help me with this problem TwT. Triangles.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

X = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

it's an isosceles triangle. you can tell because of the two sides being 14 and the bottom being 18

this means the two bottom angles are the same so the other would also be 50°

Since a triangle has 180° between the three sides, you would subtract 180-100 and get the last angle
