Answer:

1.125 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

$Area \: of \: a \: rectangle \\ = length \times width \\ = \frac{3}{2} \: inches \times \frac{3}{4} \: inches \\ = ( \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} ) \: {inches}^{2} \\ = \frac{9}{8} \: {inches}^{2} \\ = 1.125 \: {inches}^{2}$

Suppose △PKN≅△BGH.

OLga [1]

Answer:

△KNP ≅ △GHB

△NPK ≅ △HBG

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: △PKN≅△BGH

This means two triangles PKN and BGH are congruent. Congruent triangles havecongruent corresponding parts.

So,

PK ≅ BG;
PN ≅ BH;
KN ≅ GH;

and corresponding vertices

P to B;
K to G;
N to H.

Hence,

A. Triangle KNP is congruent to triangle GHB - true

B. Triangle KPN is congruent to triangle GBH - false

C. Triangle NKP is congruent to triangle HGB - false

D. Triangle NPK is congruent to triangle HBG - true

Mary prepared sandwiches for the seminar participants. She bought 5 loaves of bread at 22.50 pesos each, 2 bottles of mayonnaise

swat32

Answer:

416.50 pesos

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the bread with b.

Mayonnaise with m

Ham with h

$Amount\ Paid = 1000$

Required

Determine the change

From the question: a loaf costs 22.50

This is represented as:

$b = 22.50$

5 loaves will be:

$5*b = 22.50*5$

$5b = 112.50$

A bottle of Mayonnaise costs 55.50

This is represented as:

$m = 55.50$

2 bottles will be:

$2*m = 55.50*2$

$2m = 111$

Lastly,

1kg of ham costs 240

This is represented as:

$h =240$

1.5kg will be:

$1.5*h =240*1.5$

$1.5h =360$

The cost of the items is:

$Costs = 5b + 2m + 1.5h$

This gives:

$Costs = 112.50 + 111 + 360$

$Costs =583.50$

Her change is calculated as:

$Change = Amount\ Paid- Cost$

$Change = 1000 - 583.50$

$Change = 416.50$
