C and E, evaluate the numbers outside of the parenthesis to the inside
What is the specific wuestion?
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
In similar polygons, every side of one polygon is a certain number of times bigger than the corresponding side of the other polygon. This number is the scale factor. Since the perimeter of each polygon is the sum of the lengths of the sides of that polygon, the perimeters also have the same scale factor that the sides do.
For example, if a triangle has 3 sides measuring 5 cm each and a similar triangle has 3 sides measuring 10 cm each, you see that each side of the second triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding side of the first triangle. The scale factor from the smaller triangle to the larger triangle is 2. Now look at the perimeters. Since 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 and 10 + 10 + 10 = 30, the perimeters are 15 cm and 30 cm, and again, the perimeter of the second triangle is the same 2 times bigger than the perimeter of the first triangle.
Now look at your problem.
The perimeter of the smaller flag to the right is 16.
We see a side on the larger flag is 15, but we don't see the same side length on the smaller flag, so 15 does not help us.
Now we see that a side of the smaller flag measures 4 and the corresponding side of the larger flag measures 12. We divide the larger side length by the corresponding smaller side length to find the scale factor.
12/4 = 3
The scale factor from the smaller flag to the larger flag is 3. The perimeters also have the same scale factor of 3.
perimeter = 3 * 16 = 48
Answer: 48
Answer:
1: 75
Step-by-step explanation:
20cm : 15m
Convert meters to cm
1 meter = 100 cm
15m = 15 x 100 = 1500 cm
20cm:1500cm
Divide both sides of the ratio by 20
=> 1 : 1500/20 = 1: 75
Answer: The distance between a and c is 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
You can count the number of units they are apart, but if there isn’t a grid, then do this:
If x or y values in the ordered pairs are different, subtract them from each other and find the absolute value of the difference. (It’s my own rule, so there is a better method. My explanation apples only to ordered pairs that share a x or y value, like A and C)
2-(-6) = 8, and the absolute value of 8 is 8
Or
(-6)-2 = (-8), and the absolute value of -8 is 8 (You’ll get the same answer)
