The dimensions of triangle A are twice the dimensions of triangle B. The area of triangle A is 162 cm2. What is the area of triangle B?

40.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of sides of 2 figures = a : b

then the ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here the ratio of Δ A : Δ B = 2 : 1, thus

ratio of areas = 2² : 1² = 4 : 1

That is the area of Δ A is 4 times area of Δ B, so

area of Δ B = 162 ÷ 4 = 40.5 cm²

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
