Never similar. Because a pentagon does not have a parallel side to it. Hope this helps.

They are never similar. In order for two shaped to be similar, they must have the same number of sides, and the angles all must be the same. The only difference between two similar shapes is that their side lengths proportionally larger or smaller.

Since a parallelogram has 4 sides, and a pentagon has 5 sides, they can never be similar.

This is a parabola, first, locate the line of symmetry.
the line of symmetry is x=-b/2a
in this case, b=-2, a=-1, so the line of symmetry is x=-1
when x=-1, f(x)=-(-1)²-2(-1)-3=-2
locate the point (-1,-2) on the grid. this point is the vertex.
get two pairs of points with x=-1 as the symmetry line:
(0, -3) and (-2, -3); (1,-6) and (-3,-6)
connect these five points into a parabola, stick out at the ends because it will extend forever downward.

1-58. Mr. Wright was making a table to figure out how much it costs to send a certain numt

Drupady [299]

A table of values can be used to represent variables that are directly proportional.

The complete table of proportions is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[150 ]&7&1&500&[420] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[0.315]&[0.045 ]&[22.5 ] & 18.90\end{array}\right]$

Given that

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[\ ]&7&1&500&[\ ] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[\ ]&[\ ]&[\ ] & 18.90\end{array}\right]$

Let:

$L \to$ Letters

$C \to$ Cost

Using proportional reasoning, we have:

$C = kL$

Where

$k \to$ ratio of proportion

For the first values of C and L, we have:

$C = kL$

$0.45 = k \times 10$

Divide both sides by 10

$k = 0.045$

So, the equation of proportion is:

$C = 0.045L$

When C = 6.75, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$6.75 = 0.045L$

Solve for L

$L = \frac{6.75}{0.045}$

$L = 150$

When L = 7, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$C = 0.045 \times 7$

$C = 0.315$

When L = 1, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$C = 0.045 \times 1$

$C = 0.045$

When L = 500, we have:

$C =0.045L\\$

$C =0.045 \times 500$

$C =22.5$

When C = 18.90, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$18.90 = 0.045L$

Solve for L

$L=\frac{18.90}{0.045}$

$L=420$

Hence, the complete table is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[150 ]&7&1&500&[420] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[0.315]&[0.045 ]&[22.5 ] & 18.90\end{array}\right]$

How do you use protractors, its been printed on the paper, this is gonna be a little confusing for me sorry if I give this app a

Luda [366]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A protractor is usually a transparent measuring device laid intended to be laid over an angle to be measured. The centerpoint of the protractor's scale is made to coincide with the angle's vertex, and the baseline of the protractor is aligned with one of the angle's rays. The appropriate scale is used to read the angle where the other ray crosses the scale. You usually have to visually determine if the angle is acute or obtuse, so you can choose the correct scale to read.

If you're drawing an angle, first draw one ray and locate the vertex on it. Then do the steps above as you would for measurement. Make a mark on your paper corresponding to the desired angle measure, and connect the vertex to that mark to create the other ray of the angle.

If you're working with a printed protractor, you may need to do your work on a piece of translucent paper or transparency material, so you can see the protractor scale through the page you're drawing on.

Comment on a printed protractor

A protractor will only give accurate measurements if its geometry is perfect. Some printers will scale a figure differently in horizontal and vertical directions, so will make the protractor scale be elliptical instead of circular. That will give wrong readings.
