What are 2 ways of solving this proportion? 4/5 = 28/x

Mathematics
1 answer:

6 0

The first way is to cross multiply

4/5 = 28/x

4x = 5*28

4x = 140

4x/4 = 140/4

x = 35 which is the answer

=============================================

The second method is to note the denominators 4 and 28, and to ask yourself "what times 4 gets me 28?". The answer being 7, so 7*4 = 28. If you multiply top and bottom of the fraction 4/5 by 7, then you end up with 7*4 = 28 up top and 7*5 = 35 down below. This is another way of seeing how 4/5 = 28/35

Either way, the answer is x = 35

vichka [17]

Answer:

30 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the area of this triangle? A=bh/2 17 m² 30 m² 60 m² 120 m² Right triangle with height labeled 12 m, base labeled 5 m, and third side labeled 13 m.

Area of a triangle = bh/2

b = Base = 5m

h = Height = 12m

Area of the triangle = 5m × 12m/2

= 60m²/2

= 30 m²

OverLord2011 [107]
Answer: The surface area of the triangular prism is 448 square millimeters.

To find the surface area, we just need to input our values into the formula that is given.

SA = 2B + Ph
SA = 2(84) + 56(5)
SA = 168 + 280
SA = 448

The final surface area is 448 mm^2.
