Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of dogs to cats is 49:28, as an actual ratio (fraction), this is
We can reduce that to make the numbers smaller without changing the ratio. reducing gives us
We will use that ratio now to set up a proportion that involves a given number of cats and an unknown number of dogs. Keeping dogs on top and cats on bottom,
Cross multiply to get
4x = 140 so
x = 35
According to the ratio of dogs to cats, if there are 20 cats, there will be 35 dogs.
Answer:
96 in
Step-by-step explanation:
If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.
So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in

Answer:
- base: 2.18 m
- height: 7.35 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the base of the triangle in meters. Then the height is ...
h = 3 +2b
and the area is ...
A = 1/2bh
8 = 1/2(b)(3 +2b)
16 = 3b +2b^2 . . . . . . . multiply by 2 and eliminate parentheses
2(b^2 +3/2b + (9/16)) = 16 + 9/8 . . . . . . complete the square
2(b +3/4)^2 = 17.125
(b +3/4)^2 = 8.5625 . . . . . divide by 2
b + 0.75 = √8.5625 ≈ 2.9262
b = -0.75 +2.9262 = 2.1762
h = 3 +2b = 7.3523
The base is about 2.18 meters and the height is about 7.35 meters.
