Polygon Q is a scaled copy of polygon P using a scale factor of 1/2. Polygon Q's area is what fraction of Polygon P's area.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

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

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.

Answers

Answer:

y = (13/6)(b - 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

b = 6/13 y + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides.

b - 12 = 6/13 y

Multiply both sides by 13/6.

your equation I believe would be
x = (1056.5 - 470)/ 69
Explanation:
First you would need to find how much money was charged for labor, so you needed to subtract 470 from the total.
Second, once you find the amount charged for labor, you would need to divide the hourly rate by that number. That would give you the number hours.

Which of the following equations are dimensionally consistent?
(a) x=1/2at2,
(b) t=v/x,
(c) t=(2x/a)1/2

Answers

Answer:

A. x = 1/2at²

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the equations, the equation that is dimensionally consistent is x=1/2at² where;

x is the distance in meters (dimension is length (L))

a is the acceleration in m/s² (dimension is L/T²)

t is the time in seconds (s) (dimension of time is T)

Substituting the dimensions into the formula to check if we are going to arrive at the dimension for distance;

1/2at² = 1/2(L/T²)T²

= 1/2× L/T² × T²

= 1/2 × L

Since L which is the resulting dimension is the dimension for distance (x), this means that the equation x = 1/2at² is dimensionally consistent.

A shopper paid 11/100 of a dollar for 1/16 of a kilogram of nails. What was the rate in dollars per
kilograms?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Rate = \$1.76/kg[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{16}kg[/tex] of nails costs [tex]\$ \frac{11}{100}[/tex]

Required

Determine the rate

The rate, in this case, will be calculated as:

[tex]Rate = \frac{amount}{weight}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{\frac{11}{100}}{\frac{1}{16}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Rate = \frac{11}{100}/\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{11}{100} * 16[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{176}{100}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute: -18 - 6x + 6x + 10 = 0

Combine like terms: -8 ≠ 0

∴ No solution

No answer

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(3+x) Multiply -6 by 3=-18. -18+-6x     2(3x+5) 6x+10

(-18+-6x) + (10+6x) = (-8 = 0).

(5x+2)/8=x/6 what value will make it true??

Answers

X should equal -6/11 if I read the equation right

Answer:

-6/11 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use cross products to solve

(5x+2)/8=x/6

6 ( 5x+2) = 8x

Distribute

30x + 12 = 8x

Subtract 30x from each side

30x -30x +12 = 8x - 30x

12 = -22x

Divide each side by -22

12/-22 = -22x/-22

-6/11 =x

Determine the 18th term of the sequence 3,9,27,...

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x_{18}=387420489[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the sequence:

3, 9, 27...

First, note that this is a geometric sequence because each subsequent term not increasing linearly.

To find the 18th term, we can write an explicit formula.

The standard explicit formula for a geometric sequence is:

[tex]x_n=a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

Where a is the initial term, r is the common ratio, and n is the nth term.

From the sequence, we can see that the initial term a is 3. The common ratio is 3 since each subsequent term is 3 times the previous term. So, substitute:

[tex]x_n=3(3)^{n-1}[/tex]

To find the 18th term, substitute 18 for n. So:

[tex]x_{18}=3(3)^{18-1}[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]x_{18}=3(3)^{17}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]x_{18}=3(129140163)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]x_{18}=387420489[/tex]

And we're done!

The perimeter of a rectangular flower bed is 68 feet. Find the dimensions of the flower bed if the length is 2 less than three times the width.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangular flour = 2(Length+Width)

P = 2(L+W)... 1

If if the length is 2 less than three times the width, then L = 3W - 2.... 2

Substitute equation 2 into 1;

P =2(3W-2+W)

68 = 2(4W-2)

68 = 8W-4

8W = 68+4

8W = 72

W = 72/8

W = 9 feet

Since L = 3W-2

L = 3(9)-2

L = 27-2

L = 25

The length is 25ft and the width is 9ft

Area =  

C2  =

Step-by-step explanation:

We've all seen circles before. They have this perfectly round shape.

Every circle has a center, which is a point that lies exactly at the... well... center of the circle. A circle is a shape where the distance from the center to the edge of the circle is always the same. In order to calculate the radius, you need the circumferance or the diameter.

Answer:

Pi is a number that is approximated by 3.14, or 22/7. It is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle. This ratio can be rearranged to find circumference of a circle by multiplying pi times diameter

Write the ratio in simplest form for area of pool/ area of yard

Answers

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the map attached,

Area of the rectangular yard = length × width

Length of the yard = 10 units

Width of the yard = 8 units

Area = 10 × 8

        = 80 square yards

Since, pool is a composite figure of two rectangles,

Therefore, area of the pool = Area of large segment + Area of the small pool

= (5 × 6) + (3 × 3)

= 30 + 9

= 39 square units

Ratio of Area of the pool and area of yard = [tex]\frac{39}{80}[/tex]

Therefore, Option (C) will be the answer.

A merchant mixed 10 lb of a cinnamon tea with 2 lb of spice tea. The 12-pound mixture cost $13. A second mixture included 16 lb of the cinnamon tea and 8 lb of the spice tea. The 24-pound mixture cost $28. Find the cost per pound of the cinnamon tea and of the spice tea.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say c is the price of cinnamon tea, and s is the price of spice tea.

10c + 2s = 13

16c + 8s = 28

Divide the second equation by 4:

4c + 2s = 7

Subtract from the first equation:

6c = 6

c = 1

Use any equation to find s.

s = 1.5

Therefore, the cinnamon tea costs $1 per pound and the spice tea costs $1.50 per pound.
