Answer:
a) 8cm
b) 19.8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to these types of questions is to keep proportions in mind.
To solve the first question, you want to find the proportion of the smaller triangle to the bigger triangle. The length of AE is 6cm, but the length of AD is (6+4) = 10cm. So the proportion of the bigger triangle to the smaller triangle is 10/6. So to find the lengths of the sides of the bigger triangle, we want to keep this number in mind.
The BE side is parallel to CD, so we have to use length of BE multiplied by the proportion in order to get the length of CD.
CD = 4.8 * (10/6) = 8
CD = 8cm
For the second question, you use the same concept to find all the other side lengths. The only one you need left for the shape EBCD is side BC. Do the same thing you did before, take the length of the side of the smaller triangle that corresponds with side AC on the bigger triangle. In this case, it's AB, which is 4.5cm. Multiply this by 10/6 to get AC.
AC = 4.5 * (10/6) = 7.5
AC = 7.5
But we're not done. We just found the length of AC, but we need the length of BC to calculate the perimeter. To do this, we want to take the length of AC - the length of AB.
7.5 - 4.5 = 3
So the length of BC is 3cm. Now, to find the perimeter, just add all the sides of EBCD together.
4.8 + 4 + 8 + 3 = 19.8cm.
Hope this helps.
Its a rectangle with a height of 12.8 and a width of 2.4
Well I'm not sure what the answer would be since I'm not that smart but I did get the answer of 90, I did this by dividing 72 by 80 which equals .9 and I multiplied that by 100 and got 90.
Answer:
y = -1/3 x
Step-by-step explanation:
what is the slope intercept form for x+3y=0
Slope intercept form solves for y:
x + 3y = 0
subtract x from both sides:
x + 3y - x = 0 - x
3y = -x
divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = -x/3
y = -1/3 x
