Answer:

The option that describe the effect of the change is;

The perimeter is multiplied by 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters from the question are;

The (scale) factor by which the base and the height of the triangle are multiplied = 5/4

By the constant proportion of their sides, the triangle before and the triangle obtained after the multiplication are similar

Let 'a' and 'b' represent the length of the base and the height of the triangle respectively, we have;

The area of the triangle, A₁ = 1/2 × a × b = a·b/2

With the application of the scale factor of 5/4, we have;

The area of the scaled triangle, A₂ = 1/2 × (5/4) × a × (5/4) × b = (5/4)² × a·b/2

Therefore, the scale factor of the area = (5/4)²

The scale factor of the perimeter = √(The scale facto of area)

∴ The scale factor of the perimeter = √(5/4)² = (5/4)

The scale factor of the perimeter = (5/4)

Therefore, the perimeter of the scaled triangle is obtained by multiplying the perimeter of the initial triangle by (5/4).

A certain cold remedy has an 88% rate of success of reducing symptoms within 24 hours. Find the probability that in a random sam

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Success rate of the cold remedy = 88%

The number of people who took the remedy = 45

Now, 88% of 45 = $\frac{88}{100} \times 45 = 39.6$

and 39.6 ≈ 40

So, out of 45 people, the remedy worked on total 40 people.

Now, let E: Event of people being cured by cold remedy

Favorable outcomes = 40

$\textrm{Probability of Event E} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}$

or, $\textrm{Probability of people getting cured} = \frac{\textrm{40}}{\textrm{45}}$ = $\frac{8}{9}$

Hence, the probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

What is 4 multiplied by 5 7/9 as a mixed number or fraction

Andrei [34K]

The answer is 23 and 1÷9

First you multiply 4 by 5 and wind up with 20
Then you multiply four by 7÷9.
That gets you 28÷9
You take out all the nines you can from 28, three in this case.
That gets you 27÷9 + 1÷9
Your total thing is 20+27÷9+1÷9
That equals 20+3+1÷9
That equals 23 and 1÷9
