Answer:
50 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the given scale numbers by 1/2 to find your answer:
1/2 in = 100 mi
(1/2)(1/2 in) = (1/2)(100 mi) . . . . multiply the ratio values by 1/2
1/4 in = 50 mi
Answer: -2
=====================================================
Draw a vertical line through 4 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses the parabola at some point (which we'll call point A). Draw a horizontal line from point A to the y axis and note how it lands on y = 12. Therefore the point (4,12) is on this parabola.
Repeat the same steps as before to find that (8,4) is also on the parabola
We need to find the slope of the line through (4,12) and (8,4)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4-12)/(8 - 4)
m = -8/4
m = -2
The slope of this line is -2 meaning that the average rate of change from x = 4 to x = 8 is -2.
The line goes down 2 units each time you move to the right 1 unit.
Similar polygons only differ by a scaling factor. In other words, two polygons are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
In particular, this implies that the angles are preserved, and the correspondent sides are in proportion.
These two polygons are both rectangles, so the angles are preserved. We must check the sides, and we have to check if the smaller sides are in the same proportion as the bigger sides.
So, the two rectangles are similar if the following is true.
In any proportion, the product of the inner terms must be the same as the product of the outer terms:
This is clearly false, and thus the two rectangles are not similar.
