ABCDE ~ FGHIJ. Figure 2 is a dilation of figure 1, and the scale factor is 0.6. Given that FG = 12 cm, find AB.

avanturin [10]

We known that the figures are similar if and only if the corresponding sides and and angles have the common scale factor. In this item, the scale factor is 0.6. The length of AB is determined by multiplying the length of FG with the scale factor. That is,
AB = FG x scale factor
AB = (12 cm) x 0.6
AB = 7.2 cm
Thus, the length of side AB is 7.2 cm.

For what value of a should you solve the system of elimination?

SIZIF [17.4K]

$\begin{bmatrix}3x+5y=10\\ 2x+ay=4\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}3x+5y=10\mathrm{\:by\:}2: 6x+10y=20$
$\mathrm{Multiply\:}2x+ay=4\mathrm{\:by\:}3: 3ay+6x=12$

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+10y=20\\ 6x+3ay=12\end{bmatrix}$

6x + 3ay = 12

6x + 10y = 20

$3a-10y=-8 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Subtract\:}3a\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

In a game, if you roll a 6 on a 6-sided number cube, you lose a turn.

Julli [10]

A) the probability is 1 in 6 (1/6); there are six numbers and only one is 6, therefore 1 in 6
B) the probability is 5 in 6 (5/6); there are 6 numbers and only one is not 6, therefore 5 in 6
C) the probability of rolling a 6 is 1 in 6 and the probability of not rolling a 6 is 5 in 6
D) the probability is again 1 in 6 (1/6); 120 divided by 6 is 20, and 20/120 simplifies to 1/6
thats the best i can do to explain
