0.1*a+0.25*b=0.2*5
a=5-b
0.1*(5-b)+0.25*b=1

0.5-0.1b+0.25*b=1

The surface areas of two similar hexagonal prisms are 882cm² and 1,058 cm²? What is the scale factor of the smaller
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

scale factor of the smaller  prism to the larger prism is B. 21/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

surface areas of two similar hexagonal prisms are 882cm² and 1,058 cm²?

scale factor is ratio of sides of two similar objects

thus scale factor for given prism will be = side of smaller prism / side of larger prism

in general rule

If shape of solid has scale factor of k

scale factor of area = k²

scale factor of volume = k³

_____________________________

Given in the problem area of two prism is given

we know area = side^2

scale factor of area = k²

k^2 = area of smaller prism / area of larger prism

k^2 = 882 / 1058 = 441/529\\k = \sqrt{ 441/529} \\k = 21/23

Thus, correct option is B 21/23.

Why is radian measure used in Geometry?
Vladimir [108]
The infinite series description of trig functions is much neater when the argument is radians. For example, for small angles, sin(x) ≈ x when x is in radians. You could say that radians is the "natural" measurement unit for angles, just as "e" is the "natural" base of logarithms.

If the angle measure were degrees or grads or arcseconds, obnoxious scale factors would show up everywhere.
