Let the dimensions of the first rectangle be L and W.  Then L*W = 48 in^2.

If we multiply both dimensions of this first rectangle by scale factor f, we get

f*L * f^W = 12 in^2.  Our job is to determine the scale factor, f.

Note that f^2*L*W = 12 in^2, and that LW = 48 in^2.

Therefore, the above equation becomes f^2*(48 in^2) = 12 in^2.

Dividing both sides by (48 in^2), we get f^2 = 1/4.

Solving for the scale factor, we get f = √(1/4) = 1/2.

The scale factor is 1/2.

Determine whether the parallelogram is a rhombus, rectangle, square, or none. Explain.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of the given parallelogram are QS and RT. We would first determine if its diagonals are congruent.

QS = √(1 - 5)² + (3 - 3)² = 16

RT = √(3 - 3)² + (4 - 2)² = 4

Since QS ≠ RT, it means that they are not congruent and this means that the parallelogram is not a rectangle.

Let us check if the diagonals are perpendicular.

Slope of QS = (3 - 3)/(5 - 1) = 0/4

Slope of RT = (2 - 4)/(3 - 3) = - 2/0

The slopes are not opposite reciprocals. It means that the diagonals are not perpendicular. Therefore, the correct option is

D. QRST is none of these because its diagonals are neither congruent nor perpendicular.
