How to find the scale factor of two triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
BabaBlast [244]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Here's how to do it.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles must be similar, that is, corresponding angles must be equal, as in the diagram below.

1. Find a corresponding pair of sides

Assume that ∆ABC is the original and ∆DEF is its scaled image.

Then, AB and DE are corresponding sides, with lengths of 8 and 12 units , respectively.

2. Set up a ratio

Ratio = side length in image/side length in original = 12/8

3. Simplify the ratio

The simplified ratio is the scale factor (SF).

SF = 12/8 = 3/2 = 1.5

The scale factor is 1.5.

circumference = pi*d

70cm*pi = 219.8cm

219.8cm × 240 rev = 52752 cm

52752cm/100 = 528m

Let f(x) = 5x ^ 2 - x + 1 and g(x) = - 3x . Evaluate the composition (fg)(1)
nlexa [21]
F(x) = 5(-3x) ^2 - (-3x) + 1
f(x) = -8x ^2 + 3x + 1
f(x) = -8x ^3 + 3x

The assembly of a machine takes 3/4 hour there are 12 steps in the assembly process what is the average time for each step
S_A_V [24]
We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12     [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12  [flip and change sign]
3/48    [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour. 
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes

Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12   [starting equation]
3 9/12    [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes
