Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be found by dividing two corresponding side lengths. For instance, if you have two triangles, divide the new length of the larger or smaller triangle by the same side length of the original.

If the side length of the new was 9 and the old was 3 then the scale factor would be 9/3 = 3.

If it were flipped then the new would be 3 and the old would be 9. So the scale factor would be 3/9 = 1/3.

If f(x) is the height, in cm, of a sunflower plant that is x days old, which of the following statements best describes the mean

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x) is height in cm while x is days old.

We are also given f(60)=210.

If you compare f(60) to f(x) you should see that x is 60 so we have the sunflower is 60 days old. Since f(60)=210, then you have the height of the sunflower is 210 cm tall.
