1. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter o

f the figure?
2. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?
3. What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the
width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?​

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor (see the explanation)

Part 2) The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

so

The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor

Part 2) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

so

The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the  width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?​

we know that

If the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally, then the ratio of the corresponding sides of the new figure and the original figure are not proportional

That means

The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures

therefore

Corresponding sides are not proportional and corresponding angles are not congruent

so

<u><em>A) If the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the  width did not change?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2W ----> P=6L+2W

The perimeter of the new figure is greater than the perimeter of the original figure but are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area  would be A=(3L)(W) ----> A=3LW

The area of the new figure is three times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

<u><em>B) If the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2(W/4) ----> P=6L+W/2

The perimeter of the new figure and the perimeter of the original figure are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area  would be A=(3L)(W/4) ----> A=(3/4)LW

The area of the new figure is three-fourth times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

Amazon Inc. has been sued for following three alleged infringements of law: (1) Unauthorized use of a trademark; the claim is fo
Dimas [21]

The International Financial Reporting Standards developed standards can

be implemented to ascertain the provisions and disclosures to be made.

The correct responses are;

According to the financial reporting standard, the contingent liability that

Amazon Inc. should disclose and the provision that Amazon Inc. should

recognize, based on the legal consent are;

Lawsuit 1: It is not required to make provision or disclosure because the

probability of the lawsuit progressing is remote and therefore, the

Company will not be required to payout money or lose economic benefits.

Lawsuit 2: The likelihood of the Company having pay the displaced

employees is high however, the amount payable is $2 million, and

therefore, a provision of $2 million is required in the financial reporting.

Lawsuit 3: The Company is not legally obliged to pay for or perform the

cleanup, but based on the relationship between the Company's waste

location, the river, and the community, there is a constructive obligation,

the amount of which cannot be determined with reliability.

Therefore, there is a requirement for disclosure as a contingent liability,

and not a provision as the claim cannot be classified as a provision.

Solve the equation. 25-3x=40 what does x equal?
9966 [12]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

25 - 3x = 40

-3x + 25 =40

-3x +25--25=40-25

-3x=15

-3x÷-3=25÷-3

x=-5

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The probability that a ship that is declared defecive is sound is 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(A|B) denote the conditional probability of A given B. We will make use of the equation

P(A|B) = P(A) × P(B|A) / P(B)

We have the probabilities:

  • P(Declared Defective (detected) | Defective) = 0.95
  • P(not Detected | Defective) = 1-0.95=0.05
  • P(Declared Sound | Sound) = 0.97
  • P(Declared Defective |Sound) = 1-0.97=0.03
  • P(Defective)=0.05
  • P(Sound)= 1- 0.05 = 0.95

We can calculate:

P(Declared Defective)= P(Detected | Defective)×P(Defective) + P(Declared Defective |Sound) ×P(Sound) = 0.95×0.05 + 0.03×0.95=0.076

P(S | Declared Defective) =

(P(Sound) × P(Declared Defective | Sound)) / P(Declared Defective)

=0.95×0.03 /0.076 =0.375
