Answer:

Scale factor is the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

Length of sign ×scale factor=length of flyer

scale factor = 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have two figures which are geometric similar, the scale factor is the ratio of their corresponding side's lengths.

To find scale factor you identify the sides that are similar in the figures then get the ratio of their lengths.

Given the dimensions of sign as ;

width= 2 feet--------change to inches by multiplying by 12 (1 foot=12 inches)

width=2*12=24 inches

length= 2feet 6 inches

length= 24+6 =30 inches

Hence the sign has dimensions

width=24 in

length=30 in

Flyers dimensions

width=8 in

length=10 in

Finding Scale factor

length of sign ×scale factor=length of flyer

30×scale factor=10

scale factor=10/30 =1/3 or 1:3

How does the precise nature of mathematics OR the imprecise nature of language sometimes get in the way of understanding problem
Degger [83]

Answer:

This is because mathematics uses some theories that helps to change words to equations. for example, a tree of height 50m makes a shadow on the ground. an observer standing at angle of 30 degrees, calculate the distance of the man to the tree. we use the the formula, tan (30)=opp/adj

1 \div  \sqrt{3 }   = 50 \div x

x = 50 \sqrt{3} m

A pretzel manufacturer has two production lines. Line A produces a variety of pretzel that is sold for $2.40 per bag. Line A typ
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

f(x)=19x - 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

I am a high schooler as well and was working on this problem as well. I can't say I'm right or wrong because I didn't have a grade on it yet. I believe the answer is f(x)=19x - 7x. The Lines don't have a given value, so I chose the values 12 for Line A and 7 for Line B. I believe the answer is this because Line A would produce 12 bags each day and 3 of them would not be useable, leaving you with 9. Line B would produce 7 and 4 of them would be unusable, leaving you with 3. Line A produces 9 per day while Line B produces 3, and that would check off the part that says, "Line A produces 3 times as many bags as Line B each day." Throughout the problem, it talks about how many bags can each line produces each day, and the sentence talks about that specifically as well. So, the function must be about the amount of bags produced per day. x would represent the number of days that the Lines have been working. 19 is the total amount of bags that was produced in a day. 7 represents the total amount of bags that are unusable. Though I may be wrong, I hope this might help you come to a conculsion of your own.
