Answer:

6 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle DBE is similar to triangle ABC, so their side lengths are proportional.

DE/AC = DB/AB

The length of DB can be found from ...

DB +AD = AB

DB = AB -AD = (15 -10) dm = 5 dm

So, we can fill in the proportion:

DE/(18 dm) = (5 dm)/(15 dm)

DE = (18 dm)·(1/3) . . . . . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 18 dm

DE = 6 dm

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

59.25 euros

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure that is formed is the following with the respective measurements, now to calculate the area we need the height, for Pythagoras we have:

17 ^ 2 = h ^ 2 + 8 ^ 2

h ^ 2 = 289 - 64

h ^ 2 = 225

h = 15

now the figure area is as follows:

A = h * (b + a) / 2

b long side 20 m and short side 12 cm, replacing:

A = 15 * (12 + 20) / 2

A = 240 m ^ 2

We are told that each can of weedkiller can cover up to 100m ^ 2

Thus:

240/100 = 2.4, so you would need 3 cans of weedkiller

each can costs 19.75, which means that the total cost is:

19.75 * 3 = 59.25 euros

Decide which problems can be solved by using proportional reasoning. Select all that apply
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 doz for 7.25 = 12 doz for x

set up a proportion

 4        12

------ = -------   cross multiply

7.25        x

4x = (7.25)(12)

4x = 87

x = 87/4

x = 21.75 <====

=========================

so we have 0.49 for the first oz.....and 0.22 for each additional oz....and there is 4 additional oz's because 5 - 1 = 4....so thats 0.49 + 4(0.22) = 0.49 + 0.88 = $ 1.37 for the cost of a 5 oz letter. <===

Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>Let the larger number be x.

</span><span>A number, y, is equal to the difference of a larger number and 3.

y = x - 3

x - y = 3

</span>The same number is one-third of the sum of the large number and 9.

y = (1/3)(x + 9)

3y = x + 9

x - 3y = -9

The equations are:
x - y = 3
x - 3y = -9
