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.

Use Julia’s work and finish finding the areas of the faces what is the surface area of the rectangular pyramid
hoa [83]

Answer:

The surface area of the rectangular pyramid is SA=109.50\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the rectangular prism is equal to the area of the rectangular base plus the area of the four triangular faces

so

SA=(8)(5)+2[14.75]+2[\frac{1}{2}(8)(5)]

SA=40+29.50+40

SA=109.50\ m^{2}

Help pleaseee i’ll put you as brainliest
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a boat has the speed = 15 miles per hour

Let the speed of the river = v miles per hour

If the boat is moving down stream, that means boat is traveling with the stream of the river.

So the speed of the boat downstream = (15 + v) miles per hour

Since, speed of the river stream is added with the speed of the boat, it will reach the destination earlier than the expectation.
