Answer:

Heyyyy!!

The answer is 66.9

please read the explanation... it will help... I promise

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay... Here we go...

The context mentions that the two quadrilaterals are similar... meaning their sides are proportional...

So... you basically have to find the scale factor...

(the math itself is easier than the explanation...

51/16 = 3.1875 (that is the number we multiplied the sides of quadrilateral FGHI to get quadrilateral JKLM...

so to get side JK all you have to do is multiply that scale factor by side FG... which after the use of a calculator results in 66.9 (i rounded, and used a calculator... lol)

but yeah... i hope this helps...

The point (-3, -5) is on the graph of a function. Which equation must be true regarding the function?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

f(- 3) = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point (- 3, - 5)

where x = - 3 is the input and y = - 5 is the output

The function can be represented by

y = f(x), that is

f(- 3) = - 5

In a right triangle, if a = 8 and c = 17, what is the correct setup to find the value of b?

salantis [7]

Answer:

b =15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Pythagoras theorem to find b:

$a^{2}+b^{2} = c^{2}$

$8^{2} + b^{2} = 17^{2}$

64 + $b^{2}$ = 289

64 + 225 = 289

64 + $15^{2}$ = 289

b = 15

hope this helps :) and sorry if not right

Which scale will produce the smallest drawing?

Effectus [21]

The scale that will produce the smallest drawing would be b) 1mm:50m.

First, I converted all the measurements to centimeters:

a) 1cm:500cm
b) 0.01cm:5000cm
c) 5cm:1000cm
d) 10cm:2500cm

Then, you divide the scales:

a) 0.002
b) 0.000002
c) 0.005
d) 0.004

B is the smallest number, meaning it will be the smallest scale.

Polygon ABCD is dilated, rotated, and translated to form polygon A′B′C′D′. The endpoints of AB are at (0, -7) and (8, 8), and th

Anton [14]

Rotation and translation are rigid transformations, they don't change figure sizes. Dilation change figure sizes increasing or decreasing them by scale factor.

First, find AB and A'B' by the formula:

$AB=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}= \sqrt{(8-0)^2+(8-(-7))^2}=\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=\sqrt{64+225}=\sqrt{289}=17,\\ \\A'B'=\sqrt{(x_{B'}-x_{A'})^2+(y_{B'}-y_{A'})^2}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(1.5-(-6))^2}=\sqrt{4^2+7.5^2}=\sqrt{16+56.25}=\sqrt{72.25}=8.5.$

As you can see AB=2A'B'. This means that the segment AB was decreased twice to form segment A'B'. Then the scale factor is 1/2.
