Answer:

scale factor = 2.5

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the scale factor, divide 10 by 4.

use the answer and divide it by 25 :)

________

The first pentagon is dilated to form the second pentagon. Drag and drop the answer to correctly complete the statement.
Hitman42 [59]
If the bigger pentagon has side length of 5 units and the smaller pentagon has side length of 1 unit, you can know that the dilation was 1/5 = 0.2

This means that the sides of the big pentagon were multiplied by 0.2 to obtain the smaller pentagon.

Given: ABC is a right triangle with right angle C. AC=15 centimeters and m∠A=40∘ . What is BC ? Enter your answer, rounded to th
konstantin123 [22]

In order to answer this question, the figure in the first picture will be helpful to understand what a right triangle is. Here, a right angle refers to 90\°.


However, if we want to solve the problem we have to know certain things before:


In the second figure is shown a general right triangle with its three sides and another given angle, we will name it \alpha:


  • The side <u>opposite to the right angle</u> is called The Hypotenuse (h)
  • The side <u>opposite to the angle \alpha</u> is called the Opposite (O)
  • The side <u>next to the angle \alpha</u> is called the Adjacent (A)

So, going back to the triangle of our question (first figure):


  • The Hypotenuse is AB
  • The Opposite is BC
  • The Adjacent is AC

Now, if we want to find the length of each side of a right triangle, we have to use the <u>Pythagorean Theorem</u> and T<u>rigonometric Functions:</u>


Pythagorean Theorem


h^{2}=A^{2} +O^{2}    (1)  


Trigonometric Functions (here are shown three of them):


Sine: sin(\alpha)=\frac{O}{h}    (2)


Cosine: cos(\alpha)=\frac{A}{h}    (3)


Tangent: tan(\alpha)=\frac{O}{A}   (4)



In this case the function that works for this problem is cosine (3), let’s apply it here:


cos(40\°)=\frac{AC}{h}    


cos(40\°)=\frac{15}{h}    (5)


And we will use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse, as well:



h^{2}=AC^{2}+BC^{2}    


h^{2}=15^{2}+BC^{2}    (6)


h=\sqrt{225+BC^2}   (7)



Substitute (7) in (5):


cos(40\°)=\frac{15}{\sqrt{225+BC^2}}    


Then clear BC, which is the side we want:


{\sqrt{225+BC^2}}=\frac{15}{cos(40\°)}


{{\sqrt{225+BC^2}}^2={(\frac{15}{cos(40\°)})}^2


225+BC^{2}=\frac{225}{{(cos(40\°))}^2}


BC^2=\frac{225}{{(cos(40\°))}^2}-225


BC=\sqrt{158,41}


BC=12.58


Finally BC is approximately 13 cm

50-10=40  then you would divide 40 by 3 so... it would be 13 banana's.

To minimize the effect of capital gains tax, what is the least amount of time for which an investment should be held?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

C) 366 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Capital gains taxes are classified into:

  1. Short term capital gains which are taxed at the same marginal tax rate than ordinary income. Any investment held for one year or less is subject to short term capital gains.
  2. Long term capital gains which are taxed at a generally lower tax rate, e.g. 0 - 15% - 20%. An investment must be held for more than one year to be considered a long term capital gain.
