Answer:
9.6 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that ΔBAC is similar to ΔEDF, and that the area of ΔBAC is 15 inches. And we want to determine the area of ΔDEF.
First, find the scale factor <em>k</em> from ΔBAC to ΔDEF:
Solve for the scale factor <em>k: </em>
<em />
<em />
<em />
Recall that to scale areas, we square the scale factor.
In other words, since the scale factor for sides from ΔBAC to ΔDEF is 4/5, the scale factor for its area will be (4/5)² or 16/25.
Hence, the area of ΔEDF is:
In conclusion, the area of ΔEDF is 9.6 square inches.
The open circle means the inequality will be greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤).
A closed circle means the inequality will be greater than (>) or less than (<)
An arrow pointing right to increasingly positive values means the inequality is getting greater (> or ≥)
A narrowing pointing left to increasingly negative values means the inequality is getting lesser (< or ≤)
So for this graph with an open circle and rightward pointing arrow, “x” will be some number on the number line greater than the first point of -38:
x > -38
Five hundred and sixty two divided by seven would be,
=80.28
A = L x W = 8 x 17 = 136
answer
C. 136 sq. units
