Answer:

12 cm


Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportionality/similarity problem.

10 cm turned to 4 cm. So by how much has it decreased? In other words, <em>10 multiplied by </em><em>WHAT</em><em> is 4?</em>

10*x=4\\x=\frac{4}{10}\\x=0.4

0.4 is also known as the scale factor from the large diagram to the small diagram.

So how much would 30 cm become?<em> It would be 30 multiplied by the scale factor, which is </em><em>0.4</em><em>.</em>

30*0.4=12

<u>Hence, the length of the reduced diagram would be </u><u>12 cm</u><u>.</u>

8) The sides of a flower garden are shown in the diagram below. What is the perimeter of the flower garden? 4m 2 m​
jeka94

Answer:

18.28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the flower garden in the question :

The shape is composite and can be divided into 2 semicirles and rectangle

The perimeter of a semicircle is the Circumference of the semicircle = πr

Hence, 2 semicirles = 2πr

Radius of semicircle = 2/2 = 1

Perimeter = 2 * 3.14 * 1² = 2 * 3.14 * 1 = 6.28 m

The perimeter of rectangle; length and width are 6m and 2 m respectively :

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w) = 2(4+2) = 2(6) = 12m

Tve perimeter of garden = 6.28 + 12 = 18.28 m

Alice Correa bought three yards of cloth to make a dress. The cloth was on sale for $1.93 per yard. How much did Alice pay for t
vitfil [10]
<span>The correct answer for this question is that Alice Correa will have spent $6.07 on the cloth overall. This can be worked out through first considering what 5% of the original price will be, so $5.79 / 100 = 0.0579 x 5 = $0.28, so $5.79 + $0.28 = $6.07</span>
