Answer:

The scale factor for the resultant rectangle is\frac{2}{5} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two rectangles with sides 3 units and 7.5 units.

We have to find the scaling factors so that we can obtain bigger rectangle of 7.5 units from smaller rectangle of 3 units.

Scale factor is defined as the ratio  of corresponding side of given figure to the corresponding side of resulting figure.

That is \text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{length of side of given figure}}{\text{length of side of resulting figure}}

Here, \text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{length of side of given rectangle }}{\text{length of side of resulting rectangle}}

\text{Scale factor}=\frac{3}{7.5}=\frac{2}{5}

Hence, the scale factor for the resultant rectangle is\frac{2}{5} units.

How do I solve for AB? (rounded to the nearest tenth)
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The answer would be 8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smaller triangle, you use the pythagorean theorem. a squared + b squared = c squared.

To find one of the legs, you do 5 squared - 3 squared = b squared.

25 - 9 = b squared. (BD)

16 = b squared

4 = b

Now for the bigger right triangle. You still use the same tactic.

7 squared + 4 squared = c squared (which is AB)

49 + 16 = c squared

65 = c squared

That means c would equal: square root of 65, which is 8.0622577483 which rounds to 8.1

PLEASE HELP DUE IN A HOUR I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST
balandron [24]

Answer: here is an example in the screenshot

it is A,B,C, or D

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given perimeter, the area will be maximized when all the sides are the same length, which makes it actually a square. A square is still a rectangle, though! So, if you know the perimeter, divide it by four to determine the length of each side. Then multiply the length times the width to get the area.

BTW U CAN USE A CALCULATOR
