In two similar geometric figures, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called the scale factor. To find the scale factor, locate two corresponding sides, one on each figure. Write the ratio of one length to the other to find the scale factor from one figure to the other. say a triangle had points of A(-1,0),B(0,1),and C(1,0) and the scale factor is two you basically double all the points so the A' is (-2,0), B' is (0,2), and C' is (2,0).

Jim is enclosing a rectangular garden with 170 feet of fencing. The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice it’s width,

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

$1,500\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L ----> the length of the rectangular garden in feet

w ---> the width of the rectangular garden in feet

step 1

Find the width

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular garden is

$P=2(L+W)$

$P=170\ ft$

$170=2(L+W)$

Simplify

$85=(L+W)$ ----> equation A

$L=2W+10$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for W

$85=(2W+10+W)$

$85-10=3W$

$3W=75$

$W=25\ ft$

Find the value of L

$L=2(25)+10=60\ ft$

step 2

Find the area

we know that

The area of the rectangular garden is

$A=(LW)$

substitute the values

$A=(60)(25)=1,500\ ft^2$

The coordinates of an ordered pair have opposite signs. In which quadrant(s) must the ordered pair lie? Explain.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Alright...so the coordinates of an ordered pair have opposite signs [one sign is positive while the other is negative] so we could have an example of (-x,+y) or (+x,-y) ...that means out of the 4 quadrants these points could be in the 2nd quadrant or the 4th quadrant or corners of the graph
