TRUE OR FALSE. Scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of two congruent sides of two similar polygons.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor. This means that the ratio of all parts of a polygon is the same as the ratio of the sides.Jan 21, 2020

impeded by the current the outing club took 4 hours and 24 minutes to paddle 11 km up the exeter river to their campsite last we

lilavasa [31]

Answer: if there had been no current, the rate would have been 4 km/hr.

The rate of the current is 1.5km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

Impeded by the current the outing club took 4 hours and 24 minutes(4 + 24/60 = 4.4 hours) to paddle 11 km up the exeter river to their campsite last weekend. This means that the total speed with which they travelled is (x - y) km/h

Distance = speed × time. Therefore

11 = 4.4(x - y)

Dividing through by 4.4, it becomes

2.5 = x - y - - - - - - - - - - -1

The next day the same current was with them and it took only 2 hours to make the return trip to campus. This means that the total speed with which they travelled is (x + y) km/h. The distance travelled is

11 = 2(x + y)

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

5.5 = x + y - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

8 = 2x

x = 8/2 = 4

Substituting x = 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2.5 = 4 - y

y = 4 - 2.5

y = 1.5

Find the value of x.

kirza4 [7]

Hey there :)

Here we need to use Trigonometry!

The given angle is 61°
The opposite to the angle is 22
So x is the adjacent

The trigonometric ratio that uses opposite and adjacent is tan
( I have uploaded a picture to help you )

tan α = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$
tan 61 = $\frac{22}{adj}$
adj = $\frac{22}{tan(61)}$
adj ≈ 12.19 ≈ 12

x = 12

10.9 + (-15.6) + 2.1 write as a decimal

Delvig [45]

Answer:

-2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

10.9 + (-15.6) becomes 10.9 - 15.6 which equals -4.7. The last step is to add the 2.1 to the -4.7: -4.7 + 2.1 = -2.6

Therefore the answer is -2.6
