Yes, the two rectangles are similar, because rectangle 2 is a dilation of rectangle 1.

<h3>Are the two rectangles similar?</h3>

We know that rectangle 1 has dimensions L and W.

And rectangle 2 is made by multiplying the dimensions of rectangle 1 by a factor k > 0.

Then, rectangle 2 is just a dilation of rectangle 1, this means that in fact, the two rectangles are similar by definition.

Then:

Dimensions of rectangle 1:

  • Length = L
  • Width = W.
  • Perimeter = 2*(W + L)
  • Area = W*L

For rectangle 2:

  • Length = k*L
  • Width = k*W
  • Perimeter = 2*(k*L + k*W) = k*(2*(L + W))
  • Area = (k*L)*(k*W) = k²(L*W)

Above we can see that the perimeter of rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of rectangle 1, and the area of rectangle 2 is k squared times the area of the rectangle 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

How are we supposed to find volume if you don't enter the other elements I.e width, length and height?

But just in case the formulae for finding volume is to multiply is elements. So to find volume multiply is width, length and height.

Lesechka [4]

Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74

Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

The least appropriate = mean

Yes there is an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.

First arrange them in increasing order, \sqrt[10]{1\times1\times2\times2\times2\times3\times4\times5\times5\times10 }\\\\=\sqrt[10]{24000} \approx2.74

Its sum = 35

Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n

Mean = (35) ÷ 10

=3.5

Here n =10 (even)

Median = average of middle most numbers = \dfrac{2+3}{2}=\dfrac52=2.5

Mode = most repeated number = 2    (thrice)

geometric mean = \sqrt[n]{x_1\times x_2\times.... x_n}

10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.

When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.
