Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is \dfrac12

2

​

start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, so each side length of the polygon was multiplied by \dfrac12

Hint #22 / 4

Key idea

If the length of a figure scales by xxx, then area of the figure scales by x^2x

x, squared.

The Polygon QQQ is created with a scale factor of \dfrac12

Answer:

Polygon q’s area is one fourth of polygon p’s area

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x-----> polygon q’s area

y-----> polygon p’s area

so

z^{2} =\frac{x}{y}

In this problem we have

z=\frac{1}{2}

substitute

(\frac{1}{2})^{2} =\frac{x}{y}

(\frac{1}{4}) =\frac{x}{y}

x=\frac{1}{4}y

therefore

Polygon q’s area is one fourth of polygon p’s area

An elevator went up 15 floors, down 9 floors, up 11 floors, and down 19 floors. Find the net change.
NARA [144]

Answer: The net change would be -2.

Step-by-step explanation: The upward change of elevator is represented by positive sign while the downward change represented by negative sign.

Given, First the elevator goes up 15 floors, change = + 15, Then it goes 9 floors down, change = -9, Then it goes 11 floors up,Change = + 11, Finally, it goes 19 floor down, Change = - 19 So, the net change = sum of total changes = 15 - 9 + 11 - 19 = -2

Consider the equation: x^2+10x+22=13<br> Need help asap!!!! <br> this is due in a hour!
klio [65]

Answer:

(x + 5)^2 = (5 - 3)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

x^2 + 10x + 22 = 13

We have;

x^2 + 10x = 13 - 22

x^2 + 10x = -9

Adding half of 10 to both sides and completing the square as usual, we have;

(x + 5)^2 = 5^2 + (-9)

(x + 5)^2 = (5 - 3)^2
