the areas of two similar triangles are 42cm and 262.5cm. if the altitude of the smaller triangle is 7cm. what is the length of the base of the larger triangle?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the triangles are similar. It means that the ratio of their areas are equal to the ratio of their bases and ratio of their altitudes.

Let [tex]A_1[/tex] be the area of 1st triangle.

Let [tex]A_2[/tex] be the area of 2nd triangle.

Let [tex]h_1[/tex] be the altitude of 1st triangle.

Let [tex]h_2[/tex] be the altitude of 2nd triangle.

Let [tex]b_1[/tex] be the base of 1st triangle.

Let [tex]b_2[/tex] be the base of 2nd triangle.

Then [tex]A_1: A_2 = h_1 : h_2 = b_1 : b_2 ...... (1)[/tex]

[tex]A_1 = 42 cm^{2} \\A_2 = 262.5 cm^{2}\\h_1 = 7 cm\\b_2 = ?[/tex]

We know that area of a triangle is:

[tex]A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times b \times h[/tex]

Area of smaller triangle:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} \times b_1 \times 7 = 42\\\Rightarrow b_1 = 12 cm[/tex]

Now, using part of equation (1):

[tex]A_1: A_2 = b_1 : b_2 \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{42}{262.5} = \dfrac{12}{b_2}\\\Rightarrow b_2 = 75 cm[/tex]

Hence, base of larger triangle = 75 cm

A contractor bought 44 boxes of nails at a price of $1 per box. Each box
contained contained 56 nails. If he distributed the nails to the 4 houses he
was building and made sure each house received the same number of
nails, how many nails would each house get?

Answers

Answer:

616 nails

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of nail box bought  = 44

No. of nail in each box = 56.

Total no of nail in 44 box = No. of nail box bought * No. of nail in each box

                                          = 44 * 56 = 2,464

These nails were distributed in 4 houses equally.

Let no. of nail distributed in 1 houses be x.

Thus, total nails  distributed in 4 houses equally = 4x.

These 4x nail should be equal to Total no of nail in 44 box

4x = 2464

=> x = 2464/4 = 616

Thus, each house would get 616 nails.

The Waves swim team has a ratio of 14 boy: 12 girls. If there are 39 athletes,How many girls are there?


If 7 more boys join the Waves team, how many girls should be added to the team to maintain the same ratio of boys and girls.

Answers

Answer:

1. 18 girls

2. 5 girls will be added to maintain the same ratio of boys and girls

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Boys : Girls = 14 : 12

14 + 12 = 26, 39/26 = 1.5

Boys: 14 x 1.5 = 21

Girls: 12 x 1.5 = 18

21 + 18 = 39 athletes, there are 18 girls on the 39 athletes.

2. Boys : Girls = 14 : 12

14 : 12

The graph of the function, f(x) = - x2 - 3x + 1, opens and has a, value.

Answers

Answer:

downward, maximum value

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = - x^2 - 3x + 1

The negative in front of the x^2 means the graph opens downwards

The y intercept is 1

Because it opens downward it has a maximum value

Answer:

Opens downwards and has a maximum value

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -x² - 3x + 1

a is the coefficient of x², which is -1

Since a < 0, it's a concave down graph which opens downwards. Therefore it has a maximum turning point

What is the equation of a line?

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of a line is given by,

y =mx + c, slope intercept form

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), point-slope form

where,

x and x₁ are the coordinates of the x-axis,

y and y₁ are the coordinates of the y-axis,

m is the slope of the line, and

c is the y-intercept.

The equation of a line in the point-slope form is y–9=(1/5)(x-2). Therefore, the slope of the line is (1/5).

Find two numbers, if their sum is 49 and their difference is 1/2 .
This question is for my little sister who needs help with her Math.
I'm too busy to help.

Answers

Answer: 49.5 and -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a  + b =49

a -  b = 0.5

a= 49.5

b= -0.5

The two numbers are approximately 24.25 and 24.75.

What is Algebra?

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

Let's call the two numbers x and y.

According to the problem, we have two equations:

x + y = 49 (since their sum is 49)

x - y = 1/2 (since their difference is 1/2)

We can solve this system of equations using the method of substitution.

First, we can rearrange the second equation to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other:

x - y = 1/2

x = y + 1/2

Now we can substitute this expression for x into the first equation:

(y + 1/2) + y = 49

2y + 1/2 = 49

2y = 48.5

y = 24.25

Now we can use this value of y to solve for x:

x = y + 1/2 = 24.25 + 1/2 = 24.75

Therefore, the two numbers are approximately 24.25 and 24.75.
