Aaron bought a new television that has a 92 in. 76 in. screen. It has a feature that splits the screen to allow him to watch 4 c

hannels at once. What is the scale factor and size for each channel when this feature is turned on? (SHOW WORK)

Answer:

The scale factor is equal to 1/2

The dimensions of each channel when splits the screen is 46 in x 38 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the new television is 92 in x 76 in

Remember that

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

Let

A1 -----> the area of the new television

A2 ----> the area of each channel when splits the screen

z-----> the scale factor

$z^{2} =\frac{A2}{A1}$

we have that

The area of the new television is 4 times the area of each channel

$A1=4A2$

$(A2/A1)=1/4$

$z^{2} =\frac{1}{4}$

$z=\frac{1}{2}$ -----> the scale factor

so

When splits the screen, the dimension of each channel is equal to

92/2 in x 76/2 in

so

46 in x 38 in

Remember, if two figures are similar then the scale factor is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides

<em>Verify the value of the scale factor</em>

92/46=1/2

or

76/38=1/2

How much of this circle is shaded?

Scrat [10]

Because there are 10 areas in total and only 4 of them are shaded, then 4/10 are shaded, and .4 is another way to represent this, so the first choice

PLEASE HELP ASAP DUE TONIGHT NEED YOUR HELP WILL MARK THE BRAINLEST

1a.

$0.42 = \frac{0.42}{1} = \frac{42}{100} = \frac{21}{50}$

1b. Manipulate the numbers using algebra.

$100x = 42.2222. \\ 10x = 4.2222...$

Then, subtract and solve for x.

$90x = 38 \\ x = \frac{38}{90} \\ x = \frac{19}{45}$

1c. Same thing, manipulate the numbers.

$100x = 42.4242... \\ x = 0.4242...$

Again, subtract and solve for x.

$99x = 42 \\ x = \frac{42}{99} \\ x = \frac{14}{33}$

2a. Jacob is pulling the 3 out of the root operation without getting the root of it.

$\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{25 } = 5 \sqrt{3}$

2b. Without using a calculator, the only way that is feasible is by trial and error, using perfect squares. For example: you know

$\sqrt{3}$

is somewhere between 1 and 2, as these are the closest perfect square roots to it. Try a value, say 1.5.

${1.5}^{2} = 2.25$

Not bad, seems a bit low. Lets try 1.6.

${1.6}^{2} = 2.56$

Seems like we can go bigger. 1.7 this time.

${1.7}^{2} = 2.89$

Alright, we are getting close to 3. 1.8.

${1.8}^{2} = 3.24$

Oops, too big. But no problem, because we now know that the value we are looking for is between 1.7 and 1.8, meaning the first decimal place must be 7. Let's keep going.

${1.75}^{2} = 3.0625 \\ {1.74}^{2} = 3.0276 \\ {1.73}^{2} = 2.9929$

Alright, the value is between 1.73 and 1.74.

${1.735}^{2} = 3.01... \\ {1.734}^{2} = 3.006... \\ {1.733}^{2} = 3.003... \\ {1.732}^{2} = 2.999...$

Bingo, your approximation is 1.732.

3. Convert each number to a tenth-rounded decimal.

$\pi = 3.1$

$\sqrt{3} = 1.7$

Find the square root of 5 first, as then you only have to double it for the remaining number.

${2.5}^{2} = 6.25 \\ {2.3}^{2} = 5.29 \\ {2.2}^{2} = 4.84 \\ {2.25}^{2} = 5.0625 \\ \sqrt{5} = 2.2$

The reason I take the 2.5 is to see whether to round up or down.

Then the last one is double the previous.

$2 \sqrt{5} = 4.4$

3b.

$\sqrt{3} < \sqrt{5} < \pi< 2 \sqrt{5}$

Hope this all helps.
