Answer:

ΔABC -- 60 inches
ΔDEF -- 100 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If P is the perimeter of the larger triangle, then 3/5P will be the perimeter of the smaller one. The difference in perimeters is ...

P -3/5P = 40 in

2/5P = 40 in

P = (5/2)(40 in) = 100 in

3/5P = 3/5(100 in) = 60 in

The smaller triangle perimeter is 60 in; the larger is 100 in.

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers

Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the $x^2$ coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like $x^2+bx+c=0$ , then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

$b$ is the opposite of the sum of the roots
$c$ is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

$4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2$
$4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8$

So, the equation is $x^2-2x-8=0$

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

$\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}$
$\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}$
