The area of the rectangular base is the amount of space on the rectangular base

The area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches

<h3>How to determine the area of the rectangular base?</h3>

The question is incomplete; as the diagram is not given.

So, I will apply the concept of similar shapes to determine the area of the rectangular base

To determine the area of the rectangular base, we make use of the following equivalent ratio:

Ratio = Height : Area

This gives

3 : 36 = 5 : Area

Express as fraction

36/3 = Area/5

Evaluate the quotient

12 = Area/5

Multiply both sides by 5

Area = 60

Hence, the area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

There will be 2 numbers of individual bags of chocolates left with Missy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Missy bought 4 bags of chocolates and there are 8 pieces of chocolates in each bag.

Therefore, there was a total (4× 8) = 32 chocolates.

Now, her kids ate 6 of the chocolates.

So, there remains (32 - 6) = 26 chocolates left.

If Missy packed the remaining chocolates into individual bags with 13 chocolates in each bag, then there will be \frac{26}{13} =2 numbers of individual bags of chocolates left with Missy. (Answer)

Are is the Triangle SWT and triangle SVU similar? What would be the answer?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

A) Yes the 2 triangles are similar by SSS Similarity and SAS Similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS:

ST/SU = SW/SV = WT/VU

60/70 = 48/56 = 30/35

6/7 = 6/7 = 6/7

SAS:

ST/SU = SW/SV = 6/7 (look at SSS proving)

Angle S = Angle S because they are reflexive or the same angles
