(-2,0) And (a,3) Slope 3/8

1 answer:

UkoKoshka [18]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

a= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

3/8 = (3 - 0)/(a - (-2))

cross multiplying,

3(a + 2) = 3(8)

3a + 6 = 24

3a = 18

a = 18/3

a = 6

A car is traveling at a speed of 44 feet per second. what is the car's speed in miles per hour? how many miles will the car trav

Sladkaya [172]

44 feet. 3600 seconds. 1 mile
----------- ---------------------- -----------
1 second 1 hour. 5280 feet

I wrote it this way so the units cancel out. You are multiplying the fractions by each other

The car is going 30 mph, and will go 120 miles in 4 hours.

Answer:

part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2

part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4

part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).

we know that

The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$\frac{CB}{C'B'}=\frac{CD}{C'D'}=\frac{BD}{B'D'}$

The scale factor is equal to

$z=\frac{CB}{C'B'}$

substitute

$z=\frac{4}{8}$

simplify

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

Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?

<em>Area of the small triangle</em>

$A=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)=4\ units^2$

<em>Area of the large triangle</em>

$A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(8)=16\ units^2$

ratio of the areas (small to large)

$ratio=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}$

Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures

In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
