Answer:

9.6 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ΔBAC is similar to ΔEDF, and that the area of ΔBAC is 15 inches. And we want to determine the area of ΔDEF.

First, find the scale factor <em>k</em> from ΔBAC to ΔDEF:

\displaystyle 5 k = 4

Solve for the scale factor <em>k: </em>

<em />\displaystyle k = \frac{4}{5}<em />

<em />

Recall that to scale areas, we square the scale factor.

In other words, since the scale factor for sides from ΔBAC to ΔDEF is 4/5, the scale factor for its area will be (4/5)² or 16/25.

Hence, the area of ΔEDF is:

\displaystyle \Delta EDF = \frac{16}{25}\left(15\right) = 9.6\text{ in}^2

In conclusion, the area of ΔEDF is 9.6 square inches.

The quotient of x and 6.
vovikov84 [41]

The answer is 1/6. To solve, simply set up an equation. It will be x/6. As you know, x can stand for anything. 1 will be the reasonable number for variable, x. Why? Well since x=1x. You don't actually write "1" Hope this makes your understanding clear.

What is the total volume of the snow used to make the snowman if the head is 12 inches wide, the middle is 16 inches wide, and t
Nutka1998 [239]
The snowman is made of 3 spheres (balls) of snow. The diameters, from top to bottom, are 12, 16, 18 inches
Therefore, the radii of the 3 spheres are, respectively, 6, 8, and 9 inches.

The volume of a sphere of radius, r, is given by the formula: V = 4/3 π r3
So, the total volume of snow is the sum of the 3 volumes: V = 4/3 π (63 + 83 + 93)
= 4/3 π (1,457)
=6,099.97
Your answer would be D. 6,099.97
I hope this helps!

Show the following numbers on number line 3/2, 5/2, -3/2
pav-90 [236]

When you create the number line, put 0 in the middle. Basically you put all the numbers you got from least to greatest on the number.

Since -3/2 is less than 0, it will go to the left of 0.

Since 3/2 and 5/2 are greater than 0, it will go to the right of 0.

Remember to use sub points of 1.

Best of Luck!

Find the area of a circle with a circumference of 12.56 units
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

a = 157.7536pi

Step-by-step explanation:

area = pi*circumference²

a = pi*12.56² = 157.7536*pi

however, if pi just equals 3.14:

probably around 495.346304
