Answer:

The scale factor is equal to 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If rectangle JKLM is similar to rectangle WXYZ

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor

so

In this problem

\frac{ZW}{JM} =\frac{WX}{JK}

In this problem we have

ZW=13.5\ cm

JM=9\ cm

WX=18\ cm

JK=12\ cm

Substitute

\frac{13.5}{9} =\frac{18}{12}

1.5=1.5 -----> is true

The rectangles are similar

The scale factor is equal to 1.5

Ship A and Ship B are 120 km apart when they pick up a distress call from another boat. Ship B estimates that they are 70 km awa
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

147.5 km and 64.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

a=120  km

b=70  km

β=28 degrees ( ∘)

 

b^2=(a^2)+(c^2)−2ac*cosβ  

70^2 =(120^2 )+(c^2)−2⋅ 120⋅ c⋅ cos(28∘ )  

 (c^2 ) −211.907c+9500=0  

 

note p, q, and r are replacement variables in the Pythagorean theorem since a, b, and c are already in use

p=1;q=−211.907;r=9500  

D=(q^2 ) −4pr=(211.907^2 )−4⋅1⋅9500=6904.75561996  

D>0  

 

c_{1,2}  =   (−q±  \sqrt{D}   )/2p=(211.91±\sqrt{6904.76})/2

​c_{1,2}  =105.95371114±41.5474295834  

(c_{1}−147.501140726)(c_{2}−64.4062815596)=0

c_{1}=147.501140726  

c_{2}=64.4062815596

Point R lies on the directed line segment from L (-8,-10) to M (4,-2) and partitions the segment in the ratio 3 to 5. What are t
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

R = (- 3.5, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Section formula

x_{R} = \frac{3(4)+5(-8)}{3+5} = \frac{12-40}{8} = \frac{-28}{8} = - 3.5

y_{R} = \frac{3(-2)+5(-10)}{3+5} = \frac{-6-50}{8} = \frac{-56}{8} = - 7

Thus coordinates of R = (- 3.5, - 7 )

What are the solutions to x2 + 8x + 7 = 0
3241004551 [841]
X^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
x^2 + 7x + x + 7 = 0
x(x + 7) + 1(x + 7) = 0
(x + 7) (x + 1) = 0

x = -7      or       x = -1
