The volume of a prism changes from 20 to 540 after a dilation. what was the scale factor of the dilation?

2 answers:

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.

What is the length of AC?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

AC=6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that ABC is 4 times bigger that HIJ because of lines AB and HI. HI(with a value of one) had to be multiplied by four to equal AB (a value of 4). Use this same rule to find the side AC.

1.5(the length of HJ) times 4 =6.

Help me to prove the given below. Thank you in advance

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Construct MO, where O is the midpoint of CG. (As shown in the attached figure)

(1) LM = MG //given, CM is the median to the hypotenuse

(2) CO = OG // construction

(3) MO is a mid-segment //(1), (2) , Definition of a mid-segment

(4) MO // LC //triangle mid-segment theorem

(5) ∠MOG ≅ ∠LCO // corresponding angles in two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line (CG)

(6) m∠LCO=90° //given, ΔLCG is a right triangle

(7) m∠MOG=90° //(5), (6), definition of congruent angles

(8) m∠MOC=180° – 90° = 90° // linear pair

(9) ∠MOG ≅ ∠MOC //(7),(8), definition of congruent angles

(10) MO=MO //common side, reflexive property of equality

(11) ΔMCO ≅ ΔMGO //(2), (9), (10) Side-Angle-Side postulate

(12) MC = MG // Corresponding sides in congruent triangles (CPCTC)

(13) MG= ½LG // Given, CM is the median to the hypotenuse

(15) MC = ½LG //(12) , (13), substitution

Calculate the sample mean and sample variance for the following frequency distribution of heart rates for a sample of American a

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$Mean = 68.9$

$s^2 =18.1$ --- Variance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cccccc}{Class} & {51-58} & {59-66} & {67-74} & {75-82} & {83-90} \ \\ {Frequency} & {6} & {3} & {11} & {13} & {4} \ \end{array}$

Solving (a): Calculate the mean.

The given data is a grouped data. So, first we calculate the class midpoint (x)

For 51 - 58.

$x = \frac{1}{2}(51+58) = \frac{1}{2}(109) = 54.5$

For 59 - 66

$x = \frac{1}{2}(59+66) = \frac{1}{2}(125) = 62.5$

For 67 - 74

$x = \frac{1}{2}(67+74) = \frac{1}{2}(141) = 70.5$

For 75 - 82

$x = \frac{1}{2}(75+82) = \frac{1}{2}(157) = 78.5$

For 83 - 90

$x = \frac{1}{2}(83+90) = \frac{1}{2}(173) = 86.5$

So, the table becomes:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {54.5} & {62.5} & {70.5} & {78.5} & {86.5} \ \\ {Frequency} & {6} & {3} & {11} & {13} & {4} \ \end{array}$

The mean is then calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

$Mean = \frac{54.5*4+62.5*3+70.5*11+78.5*13+86.5*4}{6+3+11+13+4}$

$Mean = \frac{2547.5}{37}$

$Mean = 68.9$ -- approximated

Solving (b): The sample variance:

This is calculated as:

$s^2 =\frac{\sum (x - \overline x)^2}{\sum f - 1}$

So, we have:

$s^2 =\frac{(54.5-68.9)^2+(62.5-68.9)^2+(70.5-68.9)^2+(78.5-68.9)^2+(86.5-68.9)^2}{37 - 1}$

$s^2 =\frac{652.8}{36}$

$s^2 =18.1$ -- approximated
