Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
For polygon PQRST to be considered a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE, it means every segments of polygon ABCDE were increased proportionally by a scale factor.
The segments in polygon PQRST were not gotten using the same scale factor, hence, it is not a scaled copy of the original polygon, ABCDE.
Segment CD = 2 units, it corresponds to segment RS = 4 units. Scale factor = RS/CD = 4/2 = 2
Segment BC = 1 unit, it corresponds to segment QR = 1 unit. Scale factor = QR/BC = 1/1 = 1 units.
Varying scale factor shows polygon PQRST is not a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE.

Step-by-step explanation:
A nice graphing calculator app makes these trivially simple. (See the first two attachments.) It is available for phones, tablets, and as a web page.

The usual methods of solving a system of equations involve <em>elimination</em> or <em>substitution</em>.
There is another method that is relatively easy to use. It is a variation of "Cramer's Rule" and is fully equivalent to <em>elimination</em>. It makes use of a formula applied to the equation coefficients. The pattern of coefficients in the formula, and the formula itself are shown in the third attachment. I like this when the coefficient numbers are "too messy" for elimination or substitution to be used easily. It makes use of the equations in standard form.

<em>Note on Cramer's Rule</em>
The equation you will see for Cramer's Rule applied to a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns will have the terms in numerator and denominator swapped: ec-bf, for example, instead of bf-ec. This effectively multiplies both numerator and denominator by -1, so has no effect on the result.
The reason for writing the formula in the fashion shown here is that it makes the pattern of multiplications and subtractions easier to remember. Often, you can do the math in your head. This is the method taught by "Vedic maths" and/or "Singapore math." Those teaching methods tend to place more emphasis on mental arithmetic than we do in the US.
SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Define scalene triangle
A Scalene Triangle is any triangle with unequal sides. This means that, in a scalene triangle, all of the three sides and angles are different lengths, just like in the illustration below. This also means that each angle has to be different.
STEP 2: Get the greatest sum possible of the two smallest angles
Since the measures of the angles of the triangle are different whole numbers , for the sum of the two angles to be the least possible, one of the angles must be smallest whole number i.e 1°
Now, the next smallest angle will be the next angle of a whole number that is not 1 degree, i.e, 2 degrees.
Thus, the greatest possible sum of the measures of two smallest angles will be:

Hence, the greatest sum possible of the two smallest angles is 3 degrees
B. 361/4
you get: x^2-19x+361/4=(x-19/2)^2
