Answer:

a) Similar

b) Perimeter of rectangle 2 is k times the Perimeter of rectangle 1 (Proved Below)

c) Area of rectangle 2 is k^2 times the Area of rectangle 1 (Proved Below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rectangle 1 has length = x

Rectangle 1 has width = y

Rectangle 2 has length = kx

Rectangle 2 has width = ky

(a) Are Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 similar? Why or why not?

Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 are similar because the angles of both rectangles are 90° and the sides of Rectangle 2 is k times the sides of Rectangle 1. So sides of both rectangles is equal to the ratio k.

(b) Write a paragraph proof to show that the perimeter of Rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of Rectangle 1.

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2*(Length + Width)

Perimeter of Rectangle 1 = 2*(x+y) = 2x+2y

Perimeter of Rectangle 2 = 2*(kx+ky) = 2kx + 2ky

                                          = k(2x+2y)

                                          = k(Perimeter of Rectangle 1)

Hence proved that Perimeter of rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of rectangle 1.

(c) Write a paragraph proof to show that the area of Rectangle 2 is k^2 times the area of Rectangle 1.

Area of Rectangle = Length * width

Area of Rectangle 1 = x * y

Area of Rectangle 2 = kx*ky

                                  = k^2 (xy)

                                  = k^2 (Area of rectangle 1)

Hence proved that area of rectangle 2 is k^2 times the area of rectangle 1.

Una caja tiene 60 bombones eba se comio 1/5 bombones y ana 1/2 bombones cuantos bombones se comio eba y ana
DedPeter [7]

Responder:

42 bombones

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado que :

Número de bombones = 60

Cantidad consumida por Eba = 1/5 * 60 = 12

Cantidad comida por Ana = 1/2 * 60 = 30

Cantidad de chocolate que comieron Eba y Ana:

(12 + 30) = 42

De ahí que Ana y Eba se comieran 42 bombones

What is the surface area of this design? 5 in 5 in 6.4 in 5 in 9 in
xeze [42]

ANSWER

197 {in}^{2}

EXPLANATION

The area of the two tra-pezoidal faces

= 2 \times  \frac{1}{2}  \times (9 + 5) \times 5 = 70 {in}^{2}

The area of the 5 by 6.4 rectangular face

= 6.4 \times 5 = 32  {in}^{2}

The area of the two square faces

= 2(5 \times 5) = 50 {in}^{2}

The area of the 9 by 5 rectangular face is

= 9 \times 5 = 45 {in}^{2}

The surface area of the design is:

70 + 32 + 50  + 45=197 {in}^{2}
