Could -2be used as a base to rewrite 32? 64? why or why not

1 answer:

4 0

32. No because (-2)^5= -32. The exponent is odd so the negative sign does not cancel out.

64. Yes because (-2)^6=64. The exponent is positive so the negative sign in -2 is cancelled out through multiplication.

Determine whether one figure is a dilation of the other.

Alika [10]

The answer is no.

A dilation is when a shape is scaled up or down to create a similar shape. The only thing that changes is the lengths of the sides. The angles will stay the same.

In this case, the original has angles 54, 29, and 97.

After the transformation the triangle has the angles 29, 59, and 92.

otez555 [7]

Answer: The post office is 32 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We set up a proportion : 10ft/15ft = xft/48ft

In this equation "x" is the height of the post office. After setting up a proportion with the size of the buildings on the top (numerator) and the shadows of each building on the bottom (denominator) we cross multipy to get our equation to find x. We then divide both sides of the equation by 15 to get our answer.

$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{x}{48} \\15x=10*48\\15x=480\\x=32$
