Answer:
76.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the triangles are similar , then
ratio of sides = a : b , so
ratio of areas = a² : b²
Here ratio of sides = 9 : 13.5 = 2 : 3
ratio of areas = 2² : 3² = 4 : 9
let x be the area of Δ DEF and using proportion
=
( cross- multiply )
4x = 306 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 76.5
The area of Δ DEF = 76.5 cm²
To solve this system of linear equations we need a little trick called elimination steps are below
we are given the following system of equations
![- 4x - 15y = - 17](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%204x%20-%2015y%20%3D%20-%2017)
![- x + 5y = - 13](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%20x%20%2B%205y%20%3D%20-%2013)
if you look at the x variables in both equations you can see that we can easily eliminate them by multiplying the bottom equation by -4 as so
![- 4x - 15y = - 17](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%204x%20-%2015y%20%3D%20-%2017)
![- 4( - x + 5y = - 13)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%204%28%20-%20x%20%2B%205y%20%3D%20-%2013%29)
simplify and we get
![- 4x - 15y = - 17](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%204x%20-%2015y%20%3D%20-%2017)
![4x - 20y = 52](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%20-%2020y%20%3D%2052)
now we can combine like terms on each side with the x's cancelling and get
![- 35y = 35](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%2035y%20%3D%2035)
now divide off -35
![y = - 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20-%201)
great now we can go back to our original system and pick a equation and substitute y back in to find x lets use
![- x + 5y = 13](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%20x%20%2B%205y%20%3D%2013)
so now we substitute y and get
![- x + 5( - 1) = 13](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%20x%20%2B%205%28%20-%201%29%20%3D%2013)
![- x - 5 = 13](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%20x%20-%205%20%3D%2013)
![- x = 17](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%20x%20%3D%2017)
![x = - 17](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20-%2017)
now we put x and y into one coordinate (x,y)
so now our FINAL ANSWER IS
(-17,-1)
Answer:
The average X bar would be 9.78
Take all players
Add them all together, you received 137
Then divide by the total number of players 14
147/14 = 9.79 with rounding to the second placement (100ths)
