Question

quick area question.... photo below....

Answer 1

^^

Answer 2

Guessing you mean perimeter and not area. If two shapes are said to be SIMILAR, that means that they are proportional in size.

The triangle with height 1 and base 2 is similar to the triangle with 10 height and 20 base, but not to the triangle with 20 height and 10 base, or any other variation that isn't just a multiple.

So we're given one side of the flag is 4 and perimeter 16. given that the corresponding side o the SIMILAR flag is 12. ALL sides of that flag are 3 times longer than the other one. Therefore the perimeter is 3 times more.

Answer 3

so what do I multiply ? sorry I'm really bad at math

Answer 4

you would divide the side of one flag and divide it by the corresponding side of the other flag to know what the ratio of size is. or how many times bigger or smaller it is.

in this case: 12/4 tells us that the flag is 3 times bigger because it has sides that are 3 times longer

Answer 5

we can simply multiply the perimeter by the multiple by which the other flag is bigger or smaller to get the perimeter of the other flag.

Answer 6

16*3

Answer 7

@Euler271 48 ?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

@Euler271 it says it was wrong oops what did we do wrong?

Answer 10

you still there @Euler271 ?

Answer 11

it should be right. i don't know what's wrong lol.

Answer 12

oh well i'll just skip it can you help me again?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

okay here goes, and this is area..

Answer 15

@Euler271 thankyou

Answer 16

lol it's the same question

Answer 17

oops sorry forgot to save the other one sillly me

Answer 18

there ya go

Answer 19

area is (base * height) /2

Answer 20

30? @Euler271

Answer 21

got it :) thanks

Answer 22

yes :)
