How does a scale factor change the size of a figure?

The scale factor can change how big or small a figure is, though it will still be similar. For example, a triangle with two sides measuring 3 & 3 (isosceles) are scaled in a factor of 6 (becoming larger).

3 x 6 = 18

The new triangle will have the sides measuring 18. Even though the triangles are not congruent, they are similar.

Hello!

The scale factor shows how much a figure is dilated. For example, if you have a square that has an area of 4, and it is dilated by a scale factor of 2, its area will become 8, or with a scale factor of 1/2, it will become 2/

I hope this helps!

Question 8 (1 point)
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

solution is x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

logx-log3=log(x-2)

apply log property

log a- log b= log a/b

logx-log3=log(x-2)\\log (\frac{x}{3} )=log(x-2)

we have log on both sides

so we remove the log and make the arguments equal

\frac{x}{3} = x-2

solve for x, multiply whole equation by 3

x=3(x-2)\\x=3x-6\\x-3x=-6\\-2x=-6\\x=3

now plug in 3 for x  and check

logx-log3=log(x-2)\\log3-log3=log(3-2)\\0=0

solution is x=3

What value of $k$ will make $4x^2 - 20x + k$ the square of a binomial?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

k = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x  - sqrt(k) )^2              Expand this as a binomial                          

4x^2 - 4x*sqrt(k) + k      The middle term must be -20x Solve for k so it is

-4xsqrt(k) = - 20x            Divide by -4x

sqrt(k) = -20x/-4x             Do the division

sqrt(k) = 5                         Square both sides

k = 25
