Rectangles are similar figures, thus if scaled copies of each other then the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal
compare ratios of lengths and widths
rectangles A and B
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = = ← ratio of widths
scale factors are equivalent, hence rectangle A is a scaled copy of B
rectangles C and B
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = = ← ratio of width
scale factors (k ) are not equal, hence C is not a scaled copy of B
rectangles A and C
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = ← ratio of widths
the scale factors are not equal hence A is not a scaled copy of C
Step-by-step explanation:
they are similar because all sides have same angles but they have different sizes the first one is bigger than the second
Expressions can be read as how many times you're multiplying a number by itself.
(1/2)^4 can be rewriten as (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2), which simplifies to 1/16
For his total monthly bill to be under a twenty dollars he could make a 149 calls
20-5=15
15/.10=150
150-1=149
15-.10=14.9
14.9+5=19.9
So the maximum number of calls he can make is 149 a month
