Ok let's see.

The way to tackle this, is to first add up the ratio's.

So 4+8 = 12. Now this 12 is important as this is total number of shares (bunches) we need to allocate to 2 different flower colours.

Before we can know how much flowers = 4 and 8 bunches. We first need to work out how many flowers = 1 bunch.

It's simple.

108 (total number of flowers) ÷ 12 (bunches of flowers) = 9 flowers per bunch.

So if 1 bunch = 9 flowers.

4 : 8

= (4 bunches x 9 flowers) : (8 bunches x 9 flowers)

Which leads to...

36 purple : 72 black

Purple flowers: black flowers = 4:8 = 108

4 + 8 = 12

108 / 12 = 9. 

9 x 4 = 36. 

36 of the flowers are purple.

Given that / and /, which postulate or theorem can be used to show that all 3 center triangles in the Antigua and Barbuda flag a
MrRissso [65]
Given that we assume that all the bases of the triangles are parallel.

We can use AAA or Angle-Angle-Angle to prove that these triangles are similar.

Each parallel line creates the same angle when intersecting with the same side.
For example:
The bases of each triangle cross the left side of all the triangle.
Each angle made by the intersecting of the the parallel base and the side are the same.
Thus, each corresponding angle of all the triangles are congruent.
If these angles are congruent, then we have similar triangles.

Can someone help with this problem on literal equations to get variable A by itself? Will give lots of points
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

xf = xo + vo* t + 1/2 a*t^2                    Subtract xo

xf - xo = 0*t + 1/2 a*t^2                        multiply by 2

2(xf - xo) = at^2                                    divide by t^2

2(xf - xo ) / t^2 = a

Part B

Givens

xo =0

vo = 0

a = 10  m/s^2

xf = 120 m

Solution

xf = xo + vo* t + 1/2 a*t^2              Substitute the givens

120 = 0 + 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t^2            Multiply by 2

120*2 = 10* t^2                  

240 = 10*t^2                                  Divide by 10

240/10  = t^2

24 = t^2                                          take the square root of both sides.

√24 = √t^2

t = √24

t = √(2 * 2 * 2 * 3)

t = 2√6
