1/4 of 1/2 of a pizza is an 1/8 of a pizza.
(1/4)*(1/2)=1/8
There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.
It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.
Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle
base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)
Plug in the numbers
x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5
The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm
Answer:
Start at the y-intercept, (0,-1). Next, go up one and to the right 2, plot a point. Keep going up one and to the right 2 until you reach the end of the graph. Next, go back to your y-intercept. Go down one and to the left 2. Keep going down and to the left until you reach the end of the graph. Connect all points.
