Answer:

784m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

is a rectangle with sides of 40m and 20m, in the upper right corner a right triangle has been removed with the legs of: 40 - 32 = 8m and 20 - 16 = 4m, we find the area of the rectangle (b * h).

40 * 20 = 800m ^ 2, then we find the area of the right triangle

1/2 b * h: 1/2 8 * 4 = 16 m ^ 2.

we remove the area of the triangle from the rectangle and we have the area of the figure: 800 - 16 = 784m^2

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Both 5 and 80 can be divided by 5.

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish the two triangles are similar, that is, that they have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, at the same moment, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where $H$ is the height of the flagpole, $h=6 ft$ is the height of the person, $A=5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and $a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the person.

Having this clear, we can write the following relation with both similar triangles:

$\frac{H}{h}=\frac{A}{a}$ (1)

We know all these lengths except $H$ , which is the value we want to to find.

So, in order to approach this problem we have to find $H$ from equation (1):

$H=\frac{A}{a}h$

$H=\frac{5 ft}{1.5 ft}(6 ft)$

Then:

$H=20 ft$ >>>>>This is the height of the flagpole

The ratio of boys to girls at King Middle school is 3:2. What is the ratio of girls to all students?

Dominik [7]

The answer is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: "2: 5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given: The ratio of boys to girls is: " 3:2 " .

Problem: Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note: This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ;
________________________________________________________
→ can be expressed as " 3x: 2x" ;

in which the total number of students is: " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

→ The total number of students is represented as: " 5x " .
________________________________________________________
→ The ratio of "girls to boys" is: "2x : 3x" .

→ {that is; the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;
→ {that is; the "inverse" of " 3x: 2x" } ; → which is: " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is: "2x : 5x " ; or " 2x/5x " ;
→ Both "x" values cancel ; {since: " x/x = 1 "} ;
_________________________________________________________
→ and we have the answer: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".

Maggie's brother is 4 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 26.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Maggie is 6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

M + B = 26

B = 26 - M

4M - 4 = B

4M - 4 = 26 - M

5M = 30

M = 6
