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.

If a=(-1, -3) and b=(11, -8) what is the length of ab?
professor190 [17]

Answer: D.  The length is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1, -3 )    Find the difference between the x values and y values.

 (11, -8)  

-3-(-8) = 5

-1-11 =   -12    now find the  absolute values.

The absolute value of 5 is 5 .  The absolute value of  -12 is 12.

Now use the Pythagorean Theorem formula a^2 + b^2 =c^2  where c square is the length between AB.

5^2 + 13^2 = C^2

25 + 144 = c^2  

169=c^2

c= 13

1 and 3/4 divided by -21
Over [174]
Let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to "improper", and then divide,

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{4}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{7}{4}\div -21\implies \cfrac{7}{4}\div \cfrac{-21}{1}\implies \cfrac{7}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{-21}\implies \cfrac{7}{-84}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{-\cfrac{1}{12}}
