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 $\dfrac{4}{3}.$

What is the area of the square? Help me pls

Allushta [10]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out the circumference of the circle.

We know that the circle has a radius of 1, and that we are finding the circumference. We'll use the circumference equation of a circle.

2 $\pi$ r

Plug in 1 for r.

$2\pi (1)$ = $2\pi$ = circumference of circle

Now, multiply the answer (the circumference) by 4 to get the perimeter of the square.

$2\pi$ x 4 = $8\pi$ = perimeter of square

Now, divide the perimeter by 4 to get what the side of the square is.

$8\pi$ ÷ 4 = $2\pi$

Now, multiply $2\pi$ by $2\pi$ (side times side) to get the area.

$2\pi$ x $2\pi$ = $4\pi$

The answer is A. $4\pi$

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. Because the p-value of 0.1609 is greater than the significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We conclude the data provide convincing evidence that the mean amount of juice in all the bottles filled that day does not differ from the target value of 275 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the values

μ = 275 mL

275.4

276.8

273.9

275

275.8

275.9

276.1

Sum = 1928.9

Mean (Average), = 275.5571429

Standard deviation, s = 0.921696159

We put the null hypothesis as H₀: μ₁ = μ₂

Therefore, the alternative becomes Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂

The t-test formula is as follows;

$t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

Plugging in the values, we have,

Test statistic = 1.599292

$t_{\alpha /2}$ at 7 - 1 degrees of freedom and α = 0.05 = ±2.446912

Our p-value from the the test statistic = 0.1608723≈ 0.1609

Therefore since the p-value = 0.1609 > α = 0.05, we fail to reject our null hypothesis, hence the evidence suggests that the mean does not differ from 275 mL.
