Answer:
part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2
part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4
part C) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).
we know that
The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional
so
Let
z ----> the scale factor
The scale factor is equal to
substitute
simplify
Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?
<em>Area of the small triangle</em>
<em>Area of the large triangle</em>
ratio of the areas (small to large)
Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures
In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
It would be 96 because V=(9)(32)= 288/3=96
You use the arithmetic sequence formula and input the information given to you.
tn = a + (n-1)d
t(56) is what your looking for so don't worry about the tn.
a is your first term,
a = 15.
n is the position of the term you are looking for, n = 56.
And d is the common difference, you find this by taking t2 and subtracting t1. t2=18 and t1=15.
d = 18 - 15 = 3
Inputting it all into the formula you get,
t(56) = 15 + (56-1)(3)
term 56 = 180.
You use this formula to find any term in a sequence provided you are given enough info. You can also manipulate it if you are asked to find something else like the first term(a), common difference(d) or term position(n). It just depends on what the question is asking and what information you are given. :)
Hope this helps!
225/5 = 45
This means the parents gave her five dollars forty five times. If they gave her a five every time she saved one dollar, you just have to multiply the money she saved each time and the number of times she saved it, and you'll get the answer.
