12 feet long

2nd piece = 2x-3

3x-3 =12

3x=15

x = 5

 1st piece = 5 feet

 2nd piece = 2*5=10-3=7 feet

This Is One Answer, There Are More Then One Answer.



100 / 5 = 20 + 27 = 47 / 2 = 23.5

100 = my number
5 = divide by

100 / 5 = 20

The volume of a prism changes from 20 to 540 after a dilation. what was the scale factor of the dilation?
lyudmila [28]
Scale factor is used by architects or engineers to transfer their prototype idea to large-scale use. If the volume of a prism is 20, you need to multiply its dimensions with a scale factor to find the new volume which is 540. For example, if the volume is doubled, this means you used a scale factor of 2. Hence, you just have to divide the new volume by the smaller volume.

Scale factor = 540/20
Scale factor = 27
