Answer: A and E
Step-by-step explanation: since the question says boys to girls and not girls to boys we assume the first number in the ratio is boys. This makes A correct 3 boys for every 2 girls. And 3+2 is 5 so for every 5 students there are 2 girls because you add the 3 boys
The ratio of lillies to roses is 5:3
Answer:
51 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded area is the difference between the area of the overall figure and that of the rectangular cutout.
The applicable formulas are ...
area of a triangle:
A = (1/2)bh
area of a rectangle:
A = bh
area of a trapezoid:
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
___
We note that the area of a triangle depends only on the length of its base and its height. The actual shape does not matter. Thus, we can shift the peak of the triangular portion of the shape (that portion above the top horizontal line) so that it lines up with one vertical side or the other of the figure. That makes the overall shape a trapezoid with bases 16 m and 10 m. The area of that trapezoid is then ...
A = (1/2)(16 m + 10 m)(5 m) = 65 m^2
The area of the white internal rectangle is ...
A = (2 m)(7 m) = 14 m^2
So, the shaded area is the difference:
65 m^2 -14 m^2 = 51 m^2 . . . . shaded area of the composite figure
_____
<em>Alternate approach</em>
Of course, you can also figure the area by adding the area of the triangular "roof" to the area of the larger rectangle, then subtracting the area of the smaller rectangle. Using the above formulas, that approach gives ...
(1/2)(5 m)(16 m - 10 m) + (5 m)(10 m) - (2 m)(7 m) = 15 m^2 + 50 m^2 -14 m^2
= 51 m^2
Answer: x = 22
Explanation:
1) Corresponding sides and correspoding angles of congruent triangles are equal.
2) When you name two congruent triangles the order of the vertices signal which sides and angles are congruents.
That triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF means that these are the corresponding parts, which are congruent to each other:
- ∠A and ∠D are congruent
- ∠B and ∠ E are congruent
- ∠C and ∠F are congruent
- Segment AB and segment DE are congruent
- Segment BC and segment EF are congruent
- Segment AC and segment DF are congruent
In the figures, it is given that the segment DF measures (1/2)x - 1 and the corresponding segment AC measures 10 units.
Hence, you set this equation: (1/2)x - 1 = 10
Solving for x:
- (1/2)x = 10 + 1
- (1/2)x = 11
- x = 2(11)
- x = 22 ← answer
