The absolute value of -2.65 is positive 2.65
therefore the answer is D. 2.6 and 2.7
Answer:
<u>Let's verify is the corresponding sides have same ratio:</u>
- ΔABC, sides: 6, 9, 11
- ΔXYZ, sides: 21, 31.5, 38.5
<u>Ratios:</u>
- 6/21 = 2/7 (divide by 3)
- 9/31.5 = 2/ 7 (divide by 4.5)
- 11/38.5 = 2/7 (divide by 5.5)
The ratios are same, so the triangles <u>are similar</u>
- Yes, the sides are all proportional
The scale factor (ΔABC to ΔXYZ) is <u>2/7</u> (or ΔXYZ to ΔABC is 7/2 = <u>3.5</u>)
Yes, because two batches of dough equals 48 cookies. So she would need 3 batches, equaling to 72 cookies.
