The two polygons above are similar. The scale factor of the smaller polygon to the larger polygon is 3. The area of the smaller

polygon is 12 sq. units. What is the area of the larger polygon?

You would think it was 3 * 12 = 36. Not so. All polygons have to be broken down into some figure that will give 2 dimensions that are at right angles to each other. That would mean that
d1 * d2 = Area for the small polygon
3d1 * 3d2 = area of the larger polygon

What that means is that the area of the larger one is 9 times the smaller one.
Area large = 12 * 9 = 108 square units. <<<<< answer.

If you find this hard to be leave try it with a square.
Suppose you have a square (the small one) that is 3 cm by 3 cm
The small one has an area of 3*3 cm^2 = 9 cm

Now you have another square that is 3 times larger. That means that each side is 3*3 = 9
So s = 9
Area = s^2
Area = 9^2 = 81 cm^2
81 is 9 times larger than 9 just as you would think.

The body temperatures of a group of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.35°F and a standard deviati
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

a) 99.97%

b) 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

• 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

• 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

• 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Mean of 98.35°F and a standard deviation of 0.64°F.

a. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 96.43°F and 100.27°F?

μ - 3σ

98.35 - 3(0.64)

= 96.43°F

μ + 3σ.

98.35 + 3(0.64)

= 100.27°F

The approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures is 99.97%

b. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 97 .71°F and 98.99°F?

within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

μ - σ

98.35 - (0.64)

= 97.71°F

μ + σ.

98.35 + (0.64)

= 98.99°F

Therefore, the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 97.71°F and 98.99°F is 65%

X+5 divided by 3=15 what is the answer?
GREYUIT [131]
All you have to do is solve for x. See the following steps below.

Step 1. Subtract \frac{5}{3} from both sides

X= 15-\frac{5}{3}

Step 2. Simplify 15- \frac{3}{5} to \frac{40}{3}

X= \frac{40}{3}

What is the common ratio of the geometric sequence below? –2, 4, –8, 16, –32, ...
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The common ratio of the geometric sequence is:

r=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

where

  • aₙ is the nth term
  • a₁ is the first term
  • r is the common ratio

Given the sequence

-2,\:4,-8,\:16,\:-32,\:...

Compute the ratios of all the adjacent terms:  r=\frac{a_n+1}{a_n}

\frac{4}{-2}=-2,\:\quad \frac{-8}{4}=-2,\:\quad \frac{16}{-8}=-2,\:\quad \frac{-32}{16}=-2

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

r=-2

Therefore, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is:

  • r=-2
