Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
For polygon PQRST to be considered a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE, it means every segments of polygon ABCDE were increased proportionally by a scale factor.
The segments in polygon PQRST were not gotten using the same scale factor, hence, it is not a scaled copy of the original polygon, ABCDE.
Segment CD = 2 units, it corresponds to segment RS = 4 units. Scale factor = RS/CD = 4/2 = 2
Segment BC = 1 unit, it corresponds to segment QR = 1 unit. Scale factor = QR/BC = 1/1 = 1 units.
Varying scale factor shows polygon PQRST is not a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE.
Answer:
b = a + 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 4b - 15
You are solving for b. Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 15 to both sides
a (+15) = 4b - 15 (+15)
a + 15 = 4b
Next, divide 4 from both sides. Remember to divide from all terms.
(4a + 15)/4 = (4b)/4
b = (4a)/4 + (15)/4
b = a + 15/4
b = a + 3.75 is your answer
