Answer: D. Smiley is too heavy for the bridge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statements:

If an elephant weighs more than 2,000 pounds, then it weighs more than Jill’s car. ......(statement (1))

If something weighs more than Jill’s car, then it is too heavy for the bridge.  .............(statement (2))

Smiley the Elephant weighs 2,150 pounds.

Then by law of detachment (using statement (1)) we get the conclusion that "it weighs more than Jill’s car."

By law of syllogism, we have the conclusion using statement (2) that "Smiley is too heavy for the bridge."

Triangle J is shown below. James drew a scaled version of Triangle J using a scale factor of 4 and labeled it
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The area of triangle K is 16 times greater than the area of triangle J

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If Triangle K is a scaled version of Triangle J

then

Triangle K and Triangle J are similar

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z -----> the scale factor

Ak ------> the area of triangle K

Aj -----> the area of triangle J

so

z^{2}=\frac{Ak}{Aj}

we have

z=4

substitute

4^{2}=\frac{Ak}{Aj}

16=\frac{Ak}{Aj}

Ak=16Aj

therefore

The area of triangle K is 16 times greater than the area of triangle J
