Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of what the numerator is and what the denominator is.

Let's look at an example.

Write the following fraction in lowest terms:

\frac{2}{8}

To write 2/8 in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 2 and 8.

Since the factors of 2 are 1 and 2 and the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8, the greatest common factor of 2 and 8 will be 2.

So we divide the numerator and the denominator of 2/8 by 2.

2 ÷ 2 = 1

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using two reflections?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The correct option is figure (1).

Explanation:

Reason for correct option:

The figure (1) shows the reflection across the side XY followed by reflection across the side YT.

When we reflect the triangle XYZ across the side XY we get the triangle XYT as shown in below figure.

After that we reflect the triangle XYT across the side YT and we get the triangle PYT.

Therefore, only figure 1 shows the triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using two reflections.

Reason for incorrect options:

The figure (2) shows the rotation of 180 degree along the point y.

The figure (3) shows the reflection across the side XY followed by the translation.

The figure (4) shows the reflection, followed by rotation , followed by translation.

Evaluate 5 + 2(x + 7)2 for x = -4.<br> O A. 23<br> O B. 13<br> O C. 18<br> O D. 63
dusya [7]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

A. 23.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

5 + 2(x + 7)² for x = -4

Substitute in -4 for x in the equation:

5 + 2((-4) + 7)²

5 + 2(3)²

5 + 2(9)

5 + 18 = 23.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 23.

Aubrey claims that if the dimensions of the parallelogram shown are doubled then the area of the larger parallelogram will be 4
djyliett [7]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though we cannot see the parallelogram, we can assume the dimensions of the original parallelogram is height= 3 and base= 6.

If we double the dimensions, we get:

height=6 band base=12.

The area of the original parallelogram is 18 square units.

The area of the enlarged parallelogram is 6×12= 72 square units.

Now,

\frac{72}{18}  = 4

Hence, the area of the larger parallelogram is 4 times more than the original.
