Option b is the better deal
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
12×12=144
12 squared equals 144 so square root is 12.
Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
The slope of the line is -1/7, so the perpendicular line has a slope of 7
Answer:
See Attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
To create the new figure, we must multiply each coordinate by the scale factor, which is 1/2 in this case.
So j(-2,2) becomes j'(-1,1)
K(4,2) becomes K'(2,1)
L(4,-2) becomes L'(2,-1)
and M (-2,-2) becomes M'(-1,-1)
The scale factor is between 1 and 0 which means that this dilation is a reduction that will shrink the original figure to a smaller one.
