Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

======================================================

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) The variable of the study is: milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water.

This is the amount that needs to be measured and analyzed to reach conclusions in the study.

b) The variable is quantitative. The quantitative variables are those that represent quantities. This variables can be measured on a continuous or discrete scale. Then, all the variables that you can measure or count are quantitative variables(height of trees, number of passengers per car, wind speed, milligrams of nitrogen per liter, etc). On the other hand, qualitative variables are those that can’ t be measured, and they represent attributes, like apple colors (red, green), size of trousers (small, medium, large) and so on.

c) The population under study is the milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water that are in the entire lake. You can estimate the parameters of the population by taking samples (In the example, 28 samples are taken).
