Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.

Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator

=> y = x - 4 ...(1)

When 5 is added to both:

Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5

Now their ratio is 5/7.

=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7

=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)

=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25

=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35

=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}

=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10

=> 2x = 18

=> x = 9

Thus,

Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9

Help me find the surface area
lesya [120]

Step-by-step explanation:

it looks like this is a regular (right) triangular prism with 3 equal side areas and one bottom area.

the surface area of the pyramid is the sum of all 4 of these areas.

all these areas are triangles.

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

in our case

1 side area is 6×8.2/2 = 3×8.2 = 24.6 yd²

all 3 side areas together are 24.6×3 = 73.8 yd²

the bottom triangle is

6×5.2/2 = 3×5.2 = 15.6 yd²

so, the total surface area is

73.8 + 15.6 = 89.4 yd²
