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.

hope this helps

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!

Kirima is building a wall for her snow fort. She first makes a firm base out of snow, and then piles uniformly sized blocks of s

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The correct options are;

0.4 represents the height of each block

0.6 represents the height of the base

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The activity Kirima is engaged in = Building a wall

The process by which she is building the wall includes

1) Construction of a base on the floor

2) Piling blocks of uniform height to form the wall

3) Estimating the height of the wall she is constructing with the expression 0.4·x + 0.6 where the constants which are 0.4 and 0.6 are in meters;

From her procedure, we have the constants, which are the values that do not change as follows;

1) The firm base

2) The uniformly sized blocks

Of the two constants, the one that consists of multiple items is the uniform sized blocks as they are laid in brick pattern

There is only one firm base

Therefore, the constant that has a variable is the uniform sized blocks

Which gives in the expression 0.4·x + 0.6, we have;

0.4 = The dimension of the uniform sized blocks

∴ 0.6 = The dimension of the firm base.

What is the value of s and the length of side BC if ABCD is a rhombus?

Natali5045456 [20]

Step 1

Find the value of s

we know that

In a Rhombus all sides are congruent

$AB=BC=CD=DA$

$AB=9s+29\\CD=10s-16$

equate AB and CD

$9s+29=10s-16\\$

Combine like term

$10s-9s=29+16\\$

$s=45\ units$

The answer Part a) is

the value of s is $45\ units$

Step 2

Find the value of side AB

$AB=9s+29$

substitute the value of s

$AB=9*45+29=434\ units$

Remember that the sides are congruent

$AB=BC=CD=DA$

therefore

the answer Part b) is

The length of the side BC is $434\ units$

Answer:

1, 1/2, 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

20 divided by 18 is 1.1

So the answer is closest to 1

Question 2

9 divided by 20 is 0.45

So the answer is closest to 1/2

Question 3

7 divided by 5 is 1.4

So the answer is closest to 1 1/2

Hope this helps!
