Answer:

Part 1) The scale factor is 3

Part 2) The value of x is 36 in

Part 3) The value of y is 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

Let

z-----> the scale factor

$z=(10+5)/5=3$

step 2

Find the value of x

To find the value of x, multiply the length of 12 by the scale factor

$x=(12)(3)=36\ in$

step 3

Find the value of y

we know that

$(13)(3)=13+y$

$y=39-13=26\ in$

Taylor charges $15 for the first hour of dog walking and $10 for each additional hour or fraction of an hour. The rates that Luc

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Taylor will charge more by $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Taylor

First Hour = $15

Hourly Rate = $10

Lucy:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{20x,\ 0 \le \ x \ \le 2} \atop {10x, x>2}} \right.$

For a dog walk of 2.5 hours.

Taylor's charges is:

$Charges = First\ Hour + Hourly\ Rate * 2.5$

$Charges = \$15 + \$10 * 2.5$

$Charges = \$15 + \$25$

$Charges = \$40$

Lucy's charges is:

Here, we consider

$f(x) = 10x$ Because $x > 2$

i.e 2.5 > 2

So, Lucy's charges is:

$Charges = 10 * \$2.5$

$Charges = \$25$

By comparison;

Taylor will charge more by $15

The difference is calculated by:

$Difference = \$40 - \$25$

$Difference = \$15$

A gardener has a rose garden that measures 30 feet by 20 feet. He wants to put a uniform border of pine bark around the outside

babunello [35]

Answer:

4x² +100x

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the garden plus the pine bark border is given by:

$A = (30+2x)*(20+2x) = 600+60x +40x +4x^2$

The area of the garden alone, without the border, is:

$A_G = 30*20=600$

Subtracting the total area by the area of the garden gives us the area of the border:

$A_B = A -A_G\\A_B= 600+100x+4x^2 - 600\\A_B = 4x^2 +100x$

The total area of the border is described by 4x² +100x.
