Find scale factor, solve for x, and solve for y.

Mathematics
1 answer:
snow_tiger [21]2 years ago
6 0

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

so

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

so

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

step 3

Find the value of y

we know that

(13)(3)=13+y

y=39-13=26\ in

Marty is explaining to Susan how to solve the following problem, -4 – (-5)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

To subtract an integer, add its opposite; -4 + 5 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Marty is explaining to Susan how to solve the following problem, -4 – (-5)  

He told Susan that to subtract an integer, add its opposite.

We know that whenever we solve the two terms, first we multiply the signs.

It means that the negative sign outside the round bracket will be multiplied with the negative sign of -5

That is,

-4 - (-5)

By multiplying the signs we get the terms:

-4 + 5

=1

Thus the correct option is D....

Point \blue{A}Astart color blue, A, end color blue is at \blue{(-4, 8)}(−4,8)start color blue, left parenthesis, minus, 4, comma
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of point B are (6,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are

Blue = A(-4,8)

Purple = M(1,7.5)

Green = B

It is given that point M is the midpoint of point A and B.

Let coordinates of points are (a,b).

Midpoint of two points is

Midpoint=(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})

M=(\dfrac{-4+a}{2},\dfrac{8+b}{2})

Coordinates of midpoint are (1,7.5).

(1,7.5)=(\dfrac{-4+a}{2},\dfrac{8+b}{2})

On comparing both sides we get

1=\dfrac{-4+a}{2}\Rightarrow 2=-4+a\Rightarrow a=6

7.5=\dfrac{8+b}{2}\Rightarrow 15=8+b\Rightarrow b=7

Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (6,7).
