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.

A set of data is given: 3,7,11,11,16. Sue calculated a center of measure and got 9.6. Which center of measure did she calculate.
QveST [7]

Answer: Average or Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of measure calculated was the average or mean. To get the mean of a set of numbers, we have to add all the numbers given and then divide them by the numbers.

In this case, the mean of 3,7,11,11,16 will be:

= (3 + 7 + 11 + 11 + 16) / 5

= 48/5

= 9.6
