Answer:

Option B) YES; 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

In these triangles ΔRPQ and ΔVAQ we have been given few measurements like

∠RPQ = ∠VAQ = 90°

Length of AV =3, AQ = 4 &

Length of RP =6, PQ = 8

Now we have been asked about the scale factor of these two triangle and similarity between them.

As we know if two sides of a triangle is in the same ratio of the other triangle and angle between these sides is same then triangles are similar.

In other words ratio of sides RP:AV = PQ:AQ

                                         ⇒ \frac{RP}{AV} = \frac{PQ}{AQ}

                                         ⇒\frac{6}{3} = \frac{8}{4}

                                         ⇒ 2:1 =2:1

And angle between them ∠RPQ = ∠VAQ = 90°

Therefore bothe the triangles are following rule of SAS so similar with a scale factor of 2:1.

Yes 2:1 you know this because the short sides, 3 and 6 are in the same ratio as the long sides, 4 and 8

Which statement justifies that x2 + 3x − 1 multiplied by 2x2 − 2x + 1 obeys the closure property of multiplication?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
(x² + 3x - 1)(2x² - 2x + 1)

x²(2x² - 2x + 1) + 3x(2x² -2x + 1) -1(2x² - 2x + 1)
2x^4 - 2x³ + x² + 6x³ - 6x² + 3x - 2x² + 2x - 1
2x^4 - 2x³ + 6x³ + x² - 6x² - 2x² + 3x + 2x - 1
2x^4 + 4x³ - 7x² + 5x - 1

<span>(D)The result 2x4 + 4x3 − 7x2 + 5x − 1 is a polynomial.</span>

1. In the figure, m DE = 106 degrees and m BC = 62 degrees. The diagram is not to scale.
k0ka [10]
For question 1, the formula for that is m1= 1/2(a-b). 106 being A and 62 being B. You should get m1=.5*(106-62) which equals B.22
