so for A it is 16 times as large because the area is 3*3 which is 9 but since it is a triangle the area is halved and is 4.5 and divide 72 by 4.5 which gives us 16
then for b I believe that the scale factor is 4
and for C it is asking for the bottom side of the scaled copy not of triangle A and 4*3=12 so the bottom is 12
ok now its complete =)
Let x be the larger number and y be the smaller number.
Using the given info, we get
x = 4y - 2
We also know that
x + y = 18
Substitute x = 4y -2 into x + y = 18
(4y -2) +y = 18
5y - 2 = 18
5y = 20
y = 4
Enter this value into x = 4y - 2
x = 4(4) - 2
x = 14
The larger number is 14 and the smaller one is 4.
Answer:
Volume of prism = 39 km cubed
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>IMPORTANT FORMULA: Volume of any prism = Area of base * Height </u>
<u />
In this case, <u><em>the area of the base</em></u> means <u><em>the area of the trapezoid. </em></u>
Area of trapezoid = base1+base2/2 * height
Area of trapezoid = 8+5/2 * 1.5
Area of trapezoid = 13/2 * 1.5 = 9.75
We already know that the height of the trapezoidal prism is 4 kilometers.
So, we have all of the values that are needed to correctly fill in the formula.
Volume of the prism = 9.75 * 4 = 39
