Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are to assume in both problems that the two triangles are similar. That is a very dangerous assumption -- especially in later math classes. But in this case, there is no other way to do the problem. The two sets of triangles look like they are proportional.  So set up two ratios that are = to each other

On the left

long side small triange / long side large triangle = base small triangle / base large triangle

On the right

hypotenuse/longest leg = hypotenuse / longest leg.

Problem A

Set up the similar Proportion

5/40 = x/20                Cross Multiply

40x = 20*5

40x = 100                   Divide by 40

x = 100/40

x = 2.5

Problem B

Again set up the similar triangle proportion

15/10 = x/2                  Multiply by 2

15*2/10 = x              

3 = x

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Their monthly payment will be $ 1,303.68.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Maya's new home had a purchase price of $ 325,500, and Maya and her husband got a 15-year fixed mortgage for 70% of the purchase price, and the interest rate on the loan was 2,990%, to determine what was their monthly payment, the following calculation must be performed:

((325,500 x 0.7) x 1.0299) / (12 x 15) = X

(227,850 x 1.0299) / 180 = X

234,662,715 / 180 = X

1,303.68 = X

Therefore, their monthly payment will be $ 1,303.68.

A cylinder soup has a radius of 1,6 in and is 5/7 in. tall what is the volume
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

V=0.0623\ inch^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of cylinder, r = 1/6 inch

The height of the cylinder, h = 5/7 inch

We need to find the volume of the cylinder. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by :

V=\pi r^2 h\\\\=3.14\times (\dfrac{1}{6})^2\times \dfrac{5}{7}\\\\V=0.0623\ inch^3

So, the volume of the cylinder is equal to 0.0623\ inch^3.
