What scale factor is applied to shape B to make shape A

Mathematics

Greeley [361]3 years ago

Answer:

Scale factor of (k) =3/2 is applied here.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points:

(A) 8 , 6 , 2 , 2

(B) 12, 9 , 3 , 3

We have to find scale factor applied to shape (B).

Scale factor is the ratio of length or two numbers to which if we multiply the number result will be same.

Here B values are 12,9... will be considered as numerators.

and

A values are 8,6... which are denominators.

Scale factor = ratio of the numbers = numerator divided by the denominator

So,

Scale factor ,(k)=?

⇒ (k)=\frac{12}{8}

Reducing to the simplest number.

Divide with 4 to both the numbers.

⇒ k=\frac{12/4}{8/4}= \frac{3}{2}

So the scale factor applied to shape B to make it similar to shape A is 3/2.

Knitting: You are knitting a blanket. You want the area of the blanket to be 24ft^2. You want the length of the blanket to be 2
andriy [413]
You can use factors to solve.  Determine all the factor pairs of 24, find the two that are two numbers apart.
1, 24 X
2, 12 X
3, 8 X
4, 6 YES!


Algebraic way to solve using Quadratics:
l = 2 + w

A = lw

A = (2 + w)w  Substitute (2 + w) for l

24 = (2 + w)w  Substitute 24 in for the area

24 = 2w + w^2  Distribute

w^2 + 2w - 24 = 0  Set equal to 0 (put in standard form)

(w + 6) (w - 4) = 0  Factor

w + 6 = 0  and w - 4 = 0    Set each factor equal to 0.

So w= -6 or w = 4 ... -6 makes no sense for a length!  So the width must be 4 and the length will be 4 + 2, which is 6.
