$\frac{17}{5} = \frac{k}{6}$

multiply diagonally: 5k=17*6
5k=102
k=102÷5
k=20.4

Answer:

A=30cm, B=39cm

Step-by-step explanation:

They are an enlargement. Therefore, the sides are larger by the same proportion, otherwise, it wouldn't be an enlargement. Therefore, the bottom side of the big one is 3 times that of the small one. Therefore, the other sides are also 3 times, making A = 30cm and B = 39cm.

Answer:

does NOT have right angles at the corners

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that the sides of a table are 27" and 36" long.

If we assume the table to be rectangular, then by Pythagorean formula, we can find the diagonal and compare it to the 40" that we are given.

(refer to attached)

diagonal² = 27² + 36²

diagonal² = 2025

diagonal = √2025

diagonal = 45 inches

because the diagonal that we found is not the same as the 40" that was given, we can conclude that the table is not a rectangle (i.e does not have right angles at the corners)
