Since the kites are similar, their sides correspond.  You can set up proportions like this:

\frac{40}{48} = \frac{20}{x}

This states that 40 (small kite) is to 48 (big kite) as 20 (small kite) is to x (big kite).  After that, use cross-multiplication to solve for x:

40x = 48*20 \\ 40x=960 \\ x=24

x must be 24 units long.

So, since the polygons are similar, they will share a scale factor. 

The dilation is a reduction.

SF= preimage/image

SF=48/40

SF= 1.2

To find the value of x, multiply 20 by 1.2, so:

20(1.2)=24

Thus, x = 24

Now, to check if the sides are proportional (this will determine if the polygons are, in fact, similar.)

24/20=1.2
48/40=1.2

BTW, the missing side measure for the image is 40 since 48 is its corresponding side, and 48/1.2 (SF) is 40.

Hence, we have 48/40= 1.2

Identify the type of hypothesis test below. H0:X=10.2, Ha:X&gt;10.2 Select the correct answer below: The hypothesis test is two-
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The hypothesis test is right-tailed

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify a one tailed test, the claim in the case study tests for the either of the two options of greater or less than the mean value in the null hypothesis.

While for a two tailed test, the claim always test for both options: greater and less than the mean value.

Thus given this: H0:X=10.2, Ha:X>10.2, there is only the option of > in the alternative claim thus it is a one tailed hypothesis test and right tailed.

A test with the greater than option is right tailed while that with the less than option is left tailed.
