"A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. ... In the field of measurements, the scale factor of an instrument is sometimes referred to as sensitivity. The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is also called a scale factor." (not my wording but i hope this helps)

100 POINTS PLZ HELPPP Drag each tile to the correct box. Arrange the expressions in increasing order of their estimated values.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

<h3>\frac{\sqrt{24}- \sqrt{54} }{\sqrt{6}} = -1   </h3><h3>\sqrt{\frac{9}{20}*\frac{10\sqrt{2} }{3\sqrt{5} } = 1.4142</h3><h3>\frac{10\pi\sqrt{2}-8\pi\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}}  = π =3.14159</h3><h3>\pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}\cdot\pi\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}} = π² = 9.8696</h3>

Explanation:

1.) Rewrite √24 = \sqrt{4*6} = 2\sqrt{6}   Rewrite √54 =\sqrt{9*6}= 3\sqrt{6}

Divide both terms by the denominator; √6 cancels. 2-3 = -1

2.) Rewrite as \frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} ×\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt{5}}  The 3's cancel.  10/2 = 5√2 in the numerator.

√5 × √5 = 5 in the denominator.  The 5's cancel.

That leaves √2 ≈1.4142

3.) Divide the terms in the numerator by the term in the denominator.

√2's cancel.  10π/2 = 5π   8π/2 = 4π  

Subtract and we are left with π = 3.14159

4.) \pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}\cdot\pi\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}  The square roots are reciprocals. They multiply to 1

We are left with π × π = π² ≈  9.8696
