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:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-6(3 + x) + 2(3x + 5) = 0

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

Explanation:
First you would need to find how much money was charged for labor, so you needed to subtract 470 from the total.

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

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.

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.

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]

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.

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.
