The scale factor is 4 because if you multiply 4 to all the number on figure A it will equal to figure Bs numbers(sorry if it doesn’t makes sense)
Answer:
A: 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inche
B: 62.4 square inches
C: 374.4 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: You can form a triangle by connecting E to the top of the segment and connecting the top of the segment to D. Recreating this with each section will create 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inches.
Part B: The area of a triangle is A = 1/2b*h. Substitute h = 10.4 and b = 12.
A = 1/2*10.4*12 = 62.4
Part C: There are 6 triangles each with area 62.4. So the area of the whole figure will be 6*62.4 = 374.4.
Answer: The correct option is
(E) 80,000.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that after adding 4,000 gallons of water to a large tank that was already filled to
of its capacity, the tank was then at
of its capacity.
We are to find the number of gallons of water that the tank hold when filled to capacity.
Let the tank can hold x gallons of water when filled to capacity.
Then, according to the given information, we have

Thus, the required capacity of the tank is 80,000 gallons of water.
Option (E) is CORRECT.
