Answer:

Scale factor = $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the actual flag = 22 in.

Perimeter of the scale drawing of the flag = 11 in.

Since, perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all three sides of the given triangle

Therefore, scale factor of the drawing

= $\frac{\text{Measure of the side of drawing}}{\text{Measure of the side of actual}}$ = $\frac{\text{Perimeter of drawing}}{\text{Perimeter of actual}}$

= $\frac{11}{22}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, scale factor of the drawing will be $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Each side of the scaled triangle will be half of the actual triangle.

What is the area of this polygon?

ra1l [238]

Step 1) Draw a line from point F to point S. A rectangle forms (rectangle FSCW)

Step 2) Find the area of this rectangle. The area is 18 square units because it is 2 units high and 9 units across (9*2 = 18). You can count out the spaces or you can note how we go from x = -4 to x = 5 so subtracting the values gives -4-5 = -9 which has an absolute value of 9.

Step 3) Find the area of triangle FSN. The base is 9 units and the height is 6 units (count out the spaces or subtract y values). So the area is A = b*h/2 = 9*6/2 = 54/2 = 27

Step 4) Add up the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle: 18+27 = 45

Final Answer: 45 square units

note: another way to find the answer is to find the area of rectangle WABC where point A is at (-4,4) and point B is at (5,4). Then subtract off the triangular areas of AFN and BNS

Find the value of x - Secant and Tangent Angles in Circles

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

C. 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle marked 15° intercepts an arc that is double that measure, so the intercepted arc on the right is 2×15° = 30°.

The external angle marked 20° is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, so is ...

20° = (1/2)(x - 30°)

40° = x - 30° . . . . . . multiply by 2
