Answer:

Perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 52 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Please remember the concept

If sides are in the ratio of a:b

Then the area in the ratio of a^{2} :b^{2}

It is given sum of their perimeter is 117.

Let the small triangle has perimeter as x.

So, perimeter of big triangle is 117-x.

So, we can set up equation as

\frac{50}{32} =\frac{x^{2} }{(117-x)^{2} }

Cross multiply

50(117-x)^2 =32x^2

Expand the left side

50(13689 -234x+x^{2} )=32x^{2}

Distribute the left side

684450-11700x+50x^{2}=32x^{2}

Subtract both sides 32x^{2} and rewrite it 18x^{2} -11700x+684450=0

Solve this quadratic for x.

Divide both sides of the equation by 18 to simplify.

x^{2}-650 x+38025=0

Now, if possible let's factor

Find two integers whose multiplication is 38025 but adds to -650.

-65 and -585 works.

So, we can rewrite it as

(x -65)(x-585) =0

Solve them using zero product property

x=65, x=585

So, x=65 works here.

So, perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 117-65= 52 dm

The probability of picking two black marbles from a box at random without replacement is 10/91 .
sasho [114]
The probability of the 2 events are multiplied to get the result 10/91

so we have the relation 5/14 *  x  = 10/91

where x is the probability of drawing the second black

so x =  10/91 * 14/5 =  4/13   answer

True or false this number is written in scientific notation? <br> .2486 x 10^12
Scilla [17]

Answer:

<h2>It Is True </h2>

It is true because scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 ✕ 10^8.

rebekah's baby brother weighs 7.71 pounds.How much will her baby brother weigh if he gains 1.3 pounds each week for two weeks?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

10.31 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we multiply 1.3 x 2 because he is gaining 1.3 for the next TWO weeks.

1.3 x 2 = 2.6

Now, add 7.71 + 2.6 because that is the weight he started with.

7.71 + 2.6 = 10.31‬

Her brother will weight 10.31 pounds if he is 7.71 lbs and continues to gain 1.3 pounds each week for two weeks.
