Area is a squared number. We know that from the label we use when we solve problems involving area. Perimeter is a single unit label. This single unit label can also be used to find scale factor, since single unit labels are one-to-one. If the area of polygon F is 36, that means that the single unit measure was a number that was squared to get to the area. Same goes for polygon G. That means that in order to find the single unit measure of each of those we have to take the square root of the area. The square root of 36 is 6, and the square root of 4 is 2. 6:2 is the scale factor, but that can be reduced to 3:1, larger to smaller.
Answer:
k=9
Step-by-step explanation:
4/3 = 8/6 = 12/9
Answer:
2,4,8,16,32,64
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways one could approach this. The goal is to find out the factor by which the numbers are increasing. Looking at going from 8 -> 16, we have either added 8, or doubled 8. So the factor is either +8 or x2. Going from 16 -> 32, adding 8 no longer holds true, while multiplying by 2 (doubling 16) does. To confirm what we have found, we can further check our math by using the final two numbers, 32 -> 64, to confirm that the sequence pattern is to double the current number to achieve the next number.
Working backwards, we can half each number to find out the first two numbers in the sequence. 64/2 = 32, 32/2 = 16, 16/2 = 8, 8/2 = 4, 4/2 = 2
The answer is 2/3 because absolute value is always positive and a rational number is a fraction
