<h3>Answer:</h3>

<u>It squares the amount you scaled it by.</u>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

For example, imagine that you had 2 by 2 square, and then you put it through a scale factor of 2.

Now each side length would be double of what it once was.

But when you multiply the new lengths together, the area would be of 4 times more.

(Original Equation) 2 * 2 = 4

(Scale Factor of 2) 4 * 4 = 16

So when the scale factor is made, the area would be squared to the multiple that you scaled it by.

<em>***A square root is a number times itself.</em>

<em>9 and 225 would be the square root in these problems.</em>

What is the difference between linear pair supplementary angle and straight angle?

Ivenika [448]

They both are 180 degrees.

One possible difference is that a straight angle is just a single angle measuring 180 degrees, while a linear pair supplementary angle are pairs of adjacent angles that add up to 180 degrees.

An angle measures 30° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

yarga [219]

Hi there!
$\boxed{\angle A = 75^o, \angle B = 105^o}$

Let there be two angles, ∠A and ∠B, that are supplementary to each other. Therefore:

∠A + ∠B = 180°

We can assign ∠B to be the greater angle. Assume ∠A has a measure of x°.

∠A = x°

∠B = x° + 30°

The sum is equal to 180°, so:

x° + (x° + 30°) = 180°

Solve for x°.

2x° + 30° = 180°

2x° = 150°

x° = 75°

Thus, ∠A = 75°.

Since ∠B is 30°, greater:
∠B = 75° + 30° = 105°.

If you know the diameter of a circle, which statement describes how to find the area?

Rudik [331]

Well to find the area of a circle Pie times r^2. But If you already have the diameter, you could either split the diameter in half, and do the regulaur formula, OR you could ude this formula ----> Pie times The diameter

Please provide the answer and explain

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer is C. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is referred to "rise over run". So in this case you rise 2 over one (2/1) That gives you 2. But since the line is going down is -2
