Answer:  The value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the triangle DEF is similar to the triangle RST.

We are to find the value of x and the scale factor of the dilation.

We know that the corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

So, we must have

\dfrac{DE}{RS}=\dfrac{EF}{ST}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3\times4\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.

The scale factor is given by

S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated triangle}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original triangle}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{RS}{DE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{4}{3}.

Thus, the value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

A specific distance is approximately 63,500,00 mi. A fly is about 0.18 in. long ???
wolverine [178]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given that a specific distance is approximately 6350000 miles.

To write this in scientific notation.  We know that for writing in scientific notation we must writte the given number as a positive number less than 10 x product of powers of n.

Hence this number

6350000 = 6.35 x1000000 = 6.35x10^6 miles

b) Length of a fly = 0.18 inches.

To write this in scientific notation.  We know that for writing in scientific notation we must writte the given number as a positive number less than 10 x product of powers of n.

so 0.18 = 1.8(1.8(10^{-1}

c) Given that distance = 5.04x10^9 inches

To line up number of flies required

= \frac{5.04x10^9}{0.18} = \frac{504x10^9}{18}=28(10^9)\\Answer is\\28(10^9)
