Answer:

The scale factor for area is found by squaring the scale factor for length. Thus the scale factor for area is s2. If this is reversed, a method is provided for solving the problem being investigated. The scale factor for area is 2.

You multiply the area by the scale factor twice. Here is an example: if we have a rectangle that has a length 3 and a height of 4 and the scale drawing with a scale factor of 2, how many times bigger is the scale drawings area? The original shape is 3 by 4 so we multiply those to find the area of 12 square units.

hope it helps!!!

Find the equation of the graphed line.?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

c. y = x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a straight line whose general form is y = mx + c.

The slope is (0, -6) / (6, 0)

= -6 / -6

= 1 so the coefficient of x , (m) is 1.

The value of c ( the y-intercept) is -6.

2. in a class of 50 students, the number of females is 2 more than 5 times the number of males. How many males and females are t

Ber [7]

Answer:

There are 8 males in the class and 42 females.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of females.

y is the number of males.

Class of 50 students

This means that $x + y = 50$

The number of females is 2 more than 5 times the number of males.

This means that $x = 5y + 2$

So, finding y, the number of males:

$x + y = 50$

$5y + 2 + y = 50$

$6y = 48$

$y = \frac{48}{6}$

$y = 8$

Females:

$x = 5y + 2 = 5*8 + 2 = 42$

There are 8 males in the class and 42 females.
