Answer:

Scale Factor is: When you divide the old shape by the new shape (explanation is here)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have 2 shapes (lets say Y is the old shape and F is the new shape) you would divide the old shape (Y) by the new shape (F)

Another example: lets say shape F is 12 cm and shape Y is 7 cm (F being the old and Y being the new shape) you would divide 12 and 7 to get the answer to that problem

Answer:

  (b)  48

Step-by-step explanation:

  x = √(36·64) = √36×√64 = 6×8

  x = 48

_____

All of the triangles are similar, so the ratios of corresponding sides are the same.

  short side/long side =  x/64 = 36/x

  x^2 = (64)(36) . . . .  as above

Solve each of the following equations using a method other than the Quadratic Formula.
liraira [26]

Answer:

A)

y^2-6y = 0

or, y(y-6) = 0

or, y = 0 or y = 6

B)

n^2+5n+7 = 7

or, n^2+5n+7-7 = 7-7 ( Subtracting 7 from both sides)

or, n^2+5n = 0

or, n(n+5) = 0

or, n=0 or n= -5

C)

2t^2-14t+3 = 3

or, 2t^2-14t = 0

or, 2t(t-7) = 0

or, t=0 or t=7

D)

1/3x^2+3x-4 = -4

or, 1/3x^2+3x = 0

or, 1/3x(x+9) = 0

or, x=0 or x= -9

E)

Zero is a common solution to each of the equations. This is because each of the equations had a variable outside the parenthesis with an operation of multiplication.
