The sum exterior angles of a square are:
4*90=360°
Answer:
part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2
part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4
part C) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).
we know that
The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional
so
Let
z ----> the scale factor

The scale factor is equal to

substitute

simplify

Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?
<em>Area of the small triangle</em>

<em>Area of the large triangle</em>

ratio of the areas (small to large)

Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures
In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Answer:
5.2 in
Step-by-step explanation:
An equilateral triangle is a triangle with 3 equal sides
Divide the equilateral triangle into two congruent triangles and use Pythagoras theorem to find the height
The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²
where a = height
b = base = 6 in / 2 = 3 in
c = hypotenuse = 6 in
6² = 3² + h²
h = 36 - 9 = 27
√27 = 5.196 inch
to the nearest tenth = 5.2 in
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
