Given:

Original figure and enlarged figure

To find:

Which ratios can be used to find the scale factor.

Solution:

Scale factor is the ratio of comparing the corresponding sides of two figures.

Option A:

$ \text {Scale factor} =\frac{\text { Enlarged }}{\text { Original }}=\frac{6.5}{3.25}$

Length of enlarged side = 6.5

Length of original side = 3.25

It is correct.

Option B:

$\text {Scale factor}= \frac{\text { Enlarged }}{\text { Original }}=\frac{3.25}{6.5}$

3.25 is the length of original figure. But here it is mentioned in enlarged.

So, it is not correct.

Option C:

$\text {Scale factor }=\frac{\text { Enlarged }}{\text { Original }}=\frac{3}{1.5}$

Width of enlarged side = 3

Width of original side = 1.5

It is correct.

Option D:

$\text{Scale factor} =\frac{\text { Enlarged }}{\text { Original }}=\frac{1.5}{3}$

1.5 is the width of original figure. But here it is mentioned in enlarged.

So, it is not correct.

Option E:

$\text{Scale factor}= \frac{\text { Enlarged }}{\text { Original }}=\frac{1.5}{3.25}$

1.5 is the width of original figure. But here it is mentioned in enlarged.

So, it is not correct.

Therefore the ratios can be used to find the scale factor are:

$ \text {Scale factor} =\frac{\text { Enlarged }}{\text { Original }}=\frac{6.5}{3.25}\ \text{and }\ \text {Scale factor }=\frac{\text { Enlarged }}{\text { Original }}=\frac{3}{1.5}$

Determine whether these triangles are similar. If so, circle the appropriate reason below. Please show all work.
uysha [10]

Answer:

Yes these triangles ate similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar if their third angle is equal. The sum of all angles of triangles must be equal to 180 degrees. The triangle 1 has sum of 180 degrees and triangle 2 has sum of 180 degrees. These triangles have third angle same which is 45 degrees.

10. Using the following arithmetic sequence, find the 29th term: –36, –32, –28, –24.
Mashcka [7]
<span>–36, –32, –28, –24  This is an arithmetic sequence because each term has the same difference from the preceding term, called the common difference, d...

-32--36=-28--32=-24--28=4  So 4 is d, the common difference.

The sequence of any arithmetic sequence has the form:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number...in this case we have:

a(n)=-36+4(n-1)  

a(n)=-36+4n-4

a(n)=4n-40 so the 29th term is:

a(29)=4(29)-40

a(29)=116-40

a(29)=76

...

distance=velocity * time

d=vt  we want to find t so

t=d/v  and in this case:

t=234/70

t=(210+24)/70

t=3hr+(60*24)/70

t=3hr+20min+34sec so 

t≈3hr 20min

...

This is an arithmetic sequence...100,150,200...

The sum of an arithmetic sequence will always be the average of the first and last terms times the number of terms....

the rule for the sequence is:

a(n)=a+d(n-1),  a(n)=100+50d-50, a(n)=50n+50

Now we know the nth term is 50n+50, and we also know the first term is 100 so:

s(n)=n(100+50n+50)/2  and we want to know the sum of the first 10 terms so

s(10)=10(100+500+50)/2

s(10)=$3250

...

The first two terms are 2 and 4 so:

a(n)=2+2(n-1)

a(n)=2+2n-2

a(n)=2n

a(10)=20

...

You could do synthetic or long division, but you also could just use the fact that the factor being (x+8) should indicate a zero for the function when x=-8.  If f(x) could be divided by (x+8) the value of y(-8) would equal zero, however calculating y(-8)=-10  so that would be the remainder if you did the division.</span>
