Answer:

The ratio of the scale factor

mr_godi [17]3 years ago

the scale factor or ratio of two similar figures, will be the same as the ratio of their perimeter, or even the ratio of two corresponding sides.


for example, we have say, an irregular octagon with a perimeter of say 13, and a similar octagon with a perimeter of 39, then


\bf \cfrac{\textit{small octagon}}{\textit{large octagon}}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{perimeter}{perimeter}\implies \cfrac{13}{39}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{1}{3}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{scale factor}}{1:3}


which is another way to say, the smaller is 1/3 of the larger one, or the larger one is 3 times as the smaller one.

The cost of providing water bottles at a high school football game is $35 for the rental of the coolers and $0.50 per bottle
zloy xaker [14]

The cost function is an illustration of a linear function

The equation of the cost function is C(x) = 35 + 0.5x

The given parameters are:

Rentals = 35 -- the cost of renting a cooler

Rate = 0.5 --- the rate per bottle

Assume the number of bottles in a cooler is x.

The cost function for the bottles in a cooler would be:

C(x) = Rentals + Rate \times x

So, we have:

C(x) = 35 + 0.5\times x

Evaluate the products

C(x) = 35 + 0.5x

Hence, the equation is C(x) = 35 + 0.5x

Which statement about the value of x is true?
Anarel [89]
The best way to find the answer is to solve for x. To start you would add 38 and 39, getting 77, then subtract that from 180 to get the last angle in the triangle, 103. Finally, you would subtract 103 from 180, getting 77, to get x. The only thing you need to do now is to look at all of the answers and figure out which one makes sense for the answer you got. You know it can't be x<77 because it doesn't have the or equal to sign. You know it can't be x>103 because 77 is lower than 103. You know it can't be x<39 because 77 is greater than 39, so the answer has to be x > 38.
