Similar polygons only differ by a scaling factor. In other words, two polygons are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
In particular, this implies that the angles are preserved, and the correspondent sides are in proportion.
These two polygons are both rectangles, so the angles are preserved. We must check the sides, and we have to check if the smaller sides are in the same proportion as the bigger sides.
So, the two rectangles are similar if the following is true.
In any proportion, the product of the inner terms must be the same as the product of the outer terms:
This is clearly false, and thus the two rectangles are not similar.
Answer:
Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount, in millions gallons of water, spent by Lee County, in t years after 2019, is given by the following equation:
In which P(0) is the amount spent on 2019 and r is the increse rate, as a decimal.
In the year 2019, Lee County used approximately 55 million gallons of water.
This means that
Historical trends show that each year the water demand is increasing by a rate of approximately 2.1%.
This means that
So
Approximately how many million gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025?
2025 is 2025 - 2019 = 6 years after 2019. So this is P(6).
Rounded to the nearest millions
Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.
