16. A certain amount of money was divided in the ratio 2:3:5. If the difference between the largest share and smallest share was 7,500 shillings, find the largest share.​

12500

Step-by-step explanation:

2:3:5

^

smallest share

5 - 2 = 3

7500 / 3 = 2500

2500 × 5 = 12500

2500 × 2 = 5000

Check to see if correct:

12500 - 5000 = 7500

The answer will be 12500, hope this helps.

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
