1) Find the length of the diagonals of the greater rhombus

NJ=9 units

XY=6 units

Find the the ratio

NJ/XY=9/6-------> 3/2

2) Find the length of the diagonals of the smaller rhombus

HS=6 units

ZC=4 units

Find the the ratio

HS/ZC=6/4-------> 3/2

NJ/XY=HS/ZC--------> the rhombus are similar

the scale factor is equal to ------> 3/2=1.5

measure greater rhombus =scale factor*measure smaller rhombus

measure greater rhombus =1.5*measure smaller rhombus

measure smaller rhombus=(measure greater rhombus/1.5)

therefore

the answer is

Yes , they are a scaled copies and the scale factor is equal to 1.5

Each bottle of apple juice costs $2.40 and each bottle of orange juice costs $2.20. If James has $50.80 and wants to buy 10 bott

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Orange juice: $2.20 per bottle.

10 bottles of orange juice cost 10 * $2.20 = $22.00.

We subtract the cost of the 10 bottles of orange juice from the amount of money he has to find out the amount he will have left for bottles of apple juice.

$50.80 - $22.00 = $28.80

After buying the 10 bottles of orange juice, he has $28.80 left.

We divide the money he has left for apple juice bottles by the price of one apple juice bottle to find out the number of apple juice bottles he can buy.

$28.80/$2.40 = 12

He can buy 12 bottles of apple juice.

Two years ago Juanita bought 2 shirts for $15 and last year she bought 4 shirts for $45. Assuming the prices will increase linea

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

This year, Juanita will have to use $75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if 2 shirts is $15, 4 shirts will be $30. $45 is $15 more than $30, so the increase is $15. 2*4 is 8, so that will make it 15*4=60. 60+15=75.

How to find the asymtope of a function

Darya [45]

Asymptote at x = 3 and a horizontal asymptote at y = 1. The curves approach these asymptotes but never cross them. The method used to find the horizontal asymptote changes depending on how the degrees of the polynomials in the numerator and denominator of the function compare.

The rectangle below has an area of x² – 6x – 7 square meters and a width of 3 – 7 meters.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The expression which represent the length of the rectangle is x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Area of rectangle = x² - 6 x - 7 square meters

The width of the rectangle = w = x - 7 meters

Let The length of rectangle = L meters

Now, According to question

∵ Area of Rectangle = Length × width

or, x² - 6 x - 7 meters² = L meters × w meters

or, x² - 6 x - 7 = L × (x - 7)

or, x² - 7 x + x - 7 = L × (x - 7)

or, x (x - 7) + 1 (x - 7) = L × (x - 7)

or, (x - 7) (x + 1) = L × (x - 7)

∴ L = $\frac{(x - 7)\times (x + 1)}{(x - 7)}$

I,e L = x + 1

So, The length of rectangle = L = x + 1

Hence,The expression which represent the length of the rectangle is x + 1 Answer
