Answer with explanation:

3:1 means that person 1's income is three times person 2's income.

E.g.: if person 1 gets 150 per hour, person 2 gets 30 per hour.

1:3 means that person 1's income is one third of person 2's income.

E.g.: if person 1 gets 40 per hour, person 2 gets 120 per hour.

Why do I think I'm ugly

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ok listen here

Step-by-step explanation:

You are like the earth.

On the inside is a bright center and lava. When lava comes to the surface as a volcano, many people think it's ugly and dangerous, but other people think that it's beautiful.

We all know that a lot of people think the surface of the earth is ugly, and they have given up hope that people can change it, but the truth is that, the world is beautiful and we can change it.

You are beautiful and the people on your earth are represented as your brain. Your brain needs to tell you to look at yourself and to say that you are beautiful. You can change your mindset to tell you that you don't care what other people say, all that matters is what you say.

Always remember that :)

Find the area of an equilateral triangle that has perimeter of 24 m.

mafiozo [28]

we know the perimeter is 24, and is an equilateral triangle, so it has three equal sides, so each side is 24 ÷ 3 = 8.

$\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}~~ \begin{cases} s=side's\\ \qquad length\\ \cline{1-1} s = 8 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\\\\\\ A=16\sqrt{3}\implies A\approx 24.71$
