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.

What’s the answer for 7+25•4
kotykmax [81]
Use Order of Operations!! Remember PEMDAS!
P: Parentheses first
E: Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
MD: Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)
AS: Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

7+25•4 (multiply 25 by 4 first)
7+100 (then add 7 to 100)
107

So your final answer would be 107

Hope this helped and I hope you have an awesome day!! :D

Answer:

The first option is correct, 12/30 and 25/30

Step-by-step explanation:

To get common denominators, you need to find the GFC (greatest common factor) of 5 and 6, which is 30. Then you would need to make the fractions equal the same as the original fractions, by multiplying.

2/5 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 6 times more than 5. so this means you multiply 2 by 6 to get 12. 12/30

5/6 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 5 times more than 6. so this means you multiply 5 by 5 to get 25. 25/30
