Answer: No, your friend is not correct. You cannot use a similarity transformation to turn a square into a rectangle. Here's why:
1) If you used a similarity transformation, the size and position of the shape would change, but the shape itself remains the same.
2) Squares and rectangles are NOT similar.* Referring to the first point I listed, if the shapes are not similar, then a similarity transformation cannot be used to turn one shape into another.
<em>*Similar means that the edges are proportional to one another, such as a square with sides of 4 meters vs a square with sides of 2 meters: the sides are different lengths, but the shape is the same.</em>
I hope this helps! Please feel free to comment below if you need any clarification. Have a good day, and good luck on your assignment. :)
Answer:
Now thats you've had time to think about it.
- They rotate and then move down!
- C
14 feet is larger because 1 yard is 3 feet. so 4*3=12 ft, and 12ft is less than 14 ft
The system has two solutions.
You can tell because the second equation is a quadratic and the first is a line, so the line passes through the quadratic twice.
Answer:
a) 96 = 3.57√h
b) h ≈ 723.11 m
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>a)</h3>
The equation you want to solve is the model with the given values filled in.
D(h) = 3.57√h . . . . model
96 = 3.57√h . . . . . equation for seeing 96 km to the horizon
__
<h3>b)</h3>
We solve this equation by dividing by the coefficient of the root, then squaring both sides.
96/3.57 = √h
h ≈ 26.891² ≈ 723.11 . . . . meters above sea level
Dustin would need to have an elevation of 723.11 meters above sea level to see 96 km to the horizon.
