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
The answer is 4 3/8 boxes because 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 ＝ 4 3/8.

You can cut all in half and they will be equal
Answer:
.38
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that they have green eyes, we only look at the green row
Total is 3+5+5 = 13
Red hair is 5
P( red hair ) red / total = 5/13 =.384615385
