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.

Solve each system of equations algebraically. For each one, explain what the solution (or lack thereof) tells you
Paul [167]

Answer:

a: no solutions

b: (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

a:

In both equations, the slope of x is the same, but the y-intercept is not, which means they are parallel. Therefore, this system of equations has no solutions.

b:

Since both of the equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other:

\frac{1}{2}x^2+1= 2x-1\\x^2 + 2 = 4x - 2\\x^2-4x+4=0

We can solve by factoring (by finding a number that multiplies to 4 and adds up to -4):

(x-2)^2 = 0

x = 2

Now, to find y, plug-in x to any of the equations:

y = 2*2-1 = 3

Therefore, the solution to this system of equation is (2, 3)

I hope this helped.

these are the means and standard deviations for samples of building heights in two different cities. city a city b mean: 120 ft
Kazeer [188]

The average building height and the standard deviation for two separate cities' samples are shown. The true statements are:

City A’s heights are more spread out than city B’s heights.

City A has a lower average height than city B.

<h3>What is average?</h3>

In daily life, an average is a number chosen to represent a group of numbers; it is often the sum of the numbers divided by the total number of numbers in the group (the arithmetic mean). The average of the integers 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9, for instance, is 5, which equals 25. An average could alternatively be another statistic like the median or mode, depending on the situation. The median is sometimes used in place of the mean since the mean would be unnaturally high if it included the personal incomes of a few billionaires. The median is the amount below which 50% of personal incomes fall and above which 50% of personal incomes rise.

15 and 17 pls.. 15 points!!!!
Maurinko [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

15) 50 ÷ 2 = 25

17) Mean = 301, Mode = 40-50

(10+20) ÷ 2 = 15, (20+30) ÷ 2 = 25, (30+40) ÷ 2 = 35

(40+50) ÷ 2 = 45, (50+60) ÷ 2 = 55, (60+70) ÷ 2 = 65

(70+80) ÷ 2 = 75

• 15×4 = 60, 25×8 = 200, 35×10 = 350, 45×12 = 540

55×10 = 550, 65×4 = 260, 75×2 = 150

Mean = (60+200+350+540+550+260+150) ÷ 7

= 2110 ÷ 7

= 301.4285....

= 301

Mode : the highest frequency
