Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
∠BAC ~ ∠EDF means that the triangles are similar. So the legs of the triangle share the same proportions, even if the sizes are different.
Since they share the same proportions, the same operations can be performed on each base to find the area.
The answer can be found with the knowledge that the area of a triangle is half of the height * width. You know the width of ∠BAC is 4, and the area is 8, so 16 (the area doubled) / 4 is the height. The width and height of ∠BAC are the same, and since the proportions are also the same, the width and height of ∠EDF are both 3. So the area is the width (3) times the height (3) divided by 2.
3*3 = 9
9/2 = 4.5
So the area is 4.5
300 dollars would be the independent variable and 50 dollars a week is dependent
We first calculate the percentage increase on the tax
Old value = 25×9 = 225 ⇒ The value 9 represents the 9 lots of thousands of the house's value
New value = 28×9 = 252
Increase in tax = 252 - 225 =27
Percentage increase = (27÷225) ×100 = 12%
The amount of yearly rent would be then increased by 12%
Monthly rent = $60
Yearly rent = 60×12 = $720
Increase by 12% = 720×1.12 = 806.4 ⇒ The value 1.12 is the multiplier, obtained from 100%+12%=112%=1.12
The monthly rent is 806.4÷12 = $67.20 which is an increase of $7.20 per month
