Rectangle A is not similar to rectangle B because the ratio of length to width is different.

<h3>Ratios and proportions</h3>

A ratio means a comparison of two different quantities while proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Rectangle A:

  • Length= 10 cm
  • Width = 4 cm

Ratio of length to width = 10 : 4

= 10/4

= 5/2

= 5 : 2

Rectangle B:

  • Length = 5 cm
  • Width = 8 cm

Ratio of length to width = 5 : 8

Therefore, rectangle A is not similar to rectangle B because the ratio of length to width is different.

The volume of a figure is 3250 cm^3. If the dimensions are multiplied by 1/5, what will be the volume of the new figure? Numeric
lozanna [386]

Answer:Volume = length x width x height.

You only need to know one side to figure out the volume of a cube.

The units of measure for volume are cubic units.

Volume is in three-dimensions.

You can multiply the sides in any order.

Which side you call length, width, or height doesn't matter.

What represents the inequality |x + 1| + 2 &lt; –1.
alex41 [277]
Question is a bit vague.  If you wish to graph this inequality, you'll need to know what the graph of the absolute value function y = |x| looks like; it's a " V " with the vertex at the origin.  The slope of the right half of the graph is m=1.  Draw this function.  

Next, subtract 2 from both sides.  We'll get <span> |x + 1|  < –1 - 2
or 
</span> |x + 1|  < –3.  We can stop here!  Why!  because the absolute value function is never smaller than zero, and so <span> |x + 1| is never smaller than -3.  

You could, of course, graph y = |x+1|; start with your graph for y = |x| and then move the whole graph 1 unit to the left (away from the origin).  If you do this properly you'll see that the entire graph is above the x-axis, except for the vertex (-1,0).  Again, that tells us that the given inequality has no solution.

amoni is painting a room. He used 2/3 of a gallon of paint to cover 1/4 of a wall. how much paint for the whole wall
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

<u>8/3 or 2 2/3 gallons of paint</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2/3 of paint covers 1/4 of the wall, you must multiply 2/3 by 4 to get 4/4 (the whole wall).

2/3 x 4 = 8/3 or 2 2/3
