$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccllll}
&Sides&Area&Volume\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}
\end{array} \\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{s^3}{s^3}=\cfrac{\textit{volume of smaller}}{\textit{volume of larger}}\implies \cfrac{3^3}{5^3}=\cfrac{54}{v}
\\\\\\
v=\cfrac{5^3\cdot 54}{3^3}$

IF PASSPORT is written as RCUURQTV, then how will BOOKLET be coded?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: DQQMNGV

Step-by-step explanation: Each letter is shifted two letters to the right on a letter strip (a -> b -> c), so BOOKLET would be DQQMNGV.

Hope this helps!

Hexagon DEFGHI is translated on the coordinate plane below to create hexagon D'E'F'G'H'I': Hexagon DEFGHI and Hexagon D prime E

BigorU [14]

We write the translation one by one:

D (3, 5)

D' (-6, 2)

That translates to: (x - 9, y - 3), because that is for passing from D to D': (3 - 9, 5 - 3) = (-6, 2).

Therefore if it is true for D and D' then, it has to be true for all others (you can check) for that rule to be true, so the correct answer is:

(x, y)→(x − 9, y − 3)
