Answer:

The side length is multiplied by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is A = s². Suppose the side is 8 inches. This means the area is A = 8² = 64.

If you were to multiply by 36, then it becomes 64*36 = 2,304. Since squaring gave the area, it's side length would be found using the reverse operation a square root. Take the square root of 2,304.

√2304 = 48

The side length changed from 8 to 48 which is a scale factor of 6. This means 8 * 6 = 48.

When babies are born, their lengths are recorded. Maddy is 18 1/2 inches. Her twin Alex, is 20 3/4 inches. How much longer is Ma

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Alex is 2 1/4 inches longer than Maddy

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex is longer than Maddy

20 3/4 - 18 1/2

Get a common denominator

20 3/4 - 18 2/4

2 1/4

Alex is 2 1/4 inches longer than Maddy

Maddy is -2 1/4 inches longer than Alex

Write an equation for the line of fit for this data in the form y=mx+b where x is latitude and y is temperature.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$y = -x + 115$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Required

The equation of best fit

First, we pick two corresponding points on the graph,

We have:

$(x_1,y_1) =(55,60)$

$(x_2,y_2) =(45,70)$

Calculate slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

This gives:

$m = \frac{70 - 60}{45 - 55}$

$m = \frac{10}{-10}$

$m = -1$

The equation is the calculated using:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

This gives

$y = -1(x - 55) + 60$

Open bracket

$y = -x + 55 + 60$

$y = -x + 115$
