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.

Answer:

186 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>*First we can move the shape around a bit to make it simpler to solve. If we take the triangle from the left side and move it over to the right, it connects with the other piece to create a rectangle. This leave two rectangles total which is much easier to solve.</em>

<em>*To find the length of the right rectangle, you take the 22 cm at the bottom and subtract the 12 cm (which is being used as the length for the left rectangle). This will give you a length of 10 cm long.</em>

<u>Left rectangle:</u>

A = lh

A = 12 (8)

A = 96 cm²

<u>Right rectangle:</u>

A = lh

A = 10 (9)

A = 90 cm²

<u>Total:</u>

A = 90 + 96

A = 186 cm²

Determine the longest side in ΔDEF.
Helen [10]

Option D:

Segment DF

Solution:

Let us first define the relationship between the side and angle in triangle.

<u>Relationship between the side and angle in triangle:</u>

  • The shortest side is always opposite to the smallest interior angle.
  • The largest side is always opposite to the largest interior angle.

To find the largest side in ΔDEF:

Largest angle in ΔDEF is ∠­E = 73°

So, the side opposite to 73° is DF.

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

Hence the segment DF is the longest side in the ΔDEF.

On a bike ride, calvin starts at home and goes up a long hill for 30 minutes at just 6 mph. at the top, he turns around and ride
omeli [17]

Answer:

<u>9 mph</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin's first leg of the trip took 0.5 hr (30 minutes) at 6 mph.  That means he travelled (0.5hr x 6 mph =) 3 miles.  He travelled 3 miles on the return trip, by definition (same path home).  At 18 mph, 3 miles would take (3 miles/18 mph =) 0.1667 hours.  That makes a total of 6 miles and (0.5 + 0.1667=) 0.6667 hours.

(6 miles)/(0.6667 hours) = 9 mph is Calvin's average speed for the round trip.
