Bacteria length = 1mm
It will triple four times by 40 min.
This can be shown as 3 to the power of 4; 3⁴ = 81
Original length * growth factor = final length
1 mm * 81 = final length
81 = final length
After 40 mins, the bacteria colony will be 81 mm in length.
The answer is A. Cause it’s the only one the says mi per hour
Ok so first, you put the sides into a ratio. The question says that triangle GKNM is congruent to triangle VRPT. From this, we know that side GK is congruent to VR. So, we write that as a ratio. Also, we know that KN is congruent to RP. We also write that as a ratio. Then, using equations, we solve for x. But, we aren't done yet; the expression for side KN is 3x-2 and, we already know that x is equal to 4.4
So, we do 3*4.4-2 which is 11.2. Therefore, side KN is equal to 11./2Then, the expression for side RP is x+4. We already know that x is equal to 4.4. So, we do 4.4+4 which is 8.4. Therefore, side RP is equal to 8.4.
Oh, and the scale factor is 4:3 or 1.33 because you do 8.4/6.3 ( you can also do 11.2/8.4)
hope this helps ;)
