Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF with a ratio of 3/5 If the difference of their perimeters is 40 inches, find the perimeter of each triangle.

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

If P is the perimeter of the larger triangle, then 3/5P will be the perimeter of the smaller one. The difference in perimeters is ...

  P -3/5P = 40 in

  2/5P = 40 in

  P = (5/2)(40 in) = 100 in

  3/5P = 3/5(100 in) = 60 in

The smaller triangle perimeter is 60 in; the larger is 100 in.

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

days of the week

step-by-step explanation:

javier earned more money then kyle, so that won't always be a constant term, but the days of the week do not change so that term is always constant.
