Scale factor is used by architects or engineers to transfer their prototype idea to large-scale use. If the volume of a prism is 20, you need to multiply its dimensions with a scale factor to find the new volume which is 540. For example, if the volume is doubled, this means you used a scale factor of 2. Hence, you just have to divide the new volume by the smaller volume.

Scale factor = 540/20
Scale factor = 27

Answer:

The scale factor is 3 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The scale factor of the dilation of a prism is the cube root of the ratio of the volume of resultant prism after dilation and the volume of the given prism,

Here, the volume of prism before dilation = 20 cube unit,

And, the volume of the prism after dilation = 540 cube unit,

Thus, by the above statement,

\text{The scale factor of dilation}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{540}{20}}

=\sqrt[3]{27}

=3

Hence, the scale factor is 3 : 1.

Which inequality statement best represents the graph below?
lbvjy [14]
Graph A is correct.  The ≥ sign is correct because the gray area is above the red.  x^2 has a positive coefficient which corresponds to the opening-up parabola.

Find the perimeter of the figure.
astraxan [27]

Answer:

26 meters

Step-by-step explanation: Ez. First add all the data you already have. You should end up with 19. Then, you want to find the length of the missing side. Well, we know it's 7 meters since its opposite is 7, and these lengths are in the same square. So 19+7 is 26 meters.

Solve the following equation for W: 5(w-2)+10=3(2w-9)+5​
storchak [24]

Answer:

w=22

Step-by-step explanation:

5(w-2)+10=3(2w-9)+5

1) Use the Distributive Property for 5(w-2) and 3(2w-9):

5w-10+10=6w-27+5

2) Combine alike terms:

5w=6w-22

3) Add a 22 to both sides:

22+5w=6w

4)Subtract 5w from both sides:

w=22
