Answer:

Not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratios:

\frac{4}{2}, \frac{8}{6}

To tell whether the ratios are proportional or not.

Solution:

In order to tell whether the given ratios are proportional or not, we will reduce the fractions to the simplest numbers by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor and then comparing them. If they are equal then the ratios are proportional else not proportional.

So, the simplest form of \frac{4}{2} can be calculated by dividing both by 2 as it is the G.C.F.

\frac{4}{2}=\frac{4\div2}{2\div 2}=\frac{2}{1}

the simplest form of \frac{8}{6} can be calculated by dividing both by 2 as it is the G.C.F.

\frac{8}{6}=\frac{8\div2}{6\div 2}=\frac{4}{3}

Now, since \frac{2}{1}\neq \frac{4}{3}, hence the ratios are not proportional.

He dimensions are tripled. The new surface area would be times larger than the original surface area.
ddd [48]

Answer:

The new surface area would be 9 times larger than the original surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we do not know what was the original shape, but we will see that it does not matter.

Let's start with a square of side length L.

The original area of this square will be:

A = L^2

Now if each dimension is tripled, then all the sides of the square now will be equal to 3*L

Then the new area of the square is:

A' = (3*L)^2 = (3*L)*(3*L) = 9*L^2 = 9*A

So the new surface area is 9 times the original one.

Now, if the figure was a circle instead of a square?

For a circle of radius R, the area is:

A = pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

Now if the dimensions of the circle are tripled, the new radius will be 3*R

Then the new area of the circle is:

A' = pi*(3*R)^2 = pi*9*R^2 = 9*(pi*R^2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original one.

If the figure is a triangle?

We know that for a triangle of base B and height H, the area is:

A = B*H/2

If we triple each measure, we will have a base 3*B and a height 3*H

Then the new area is:

A' = (3*B)*(3*H)/2 = (3*3)*(B*H/2) = 9*(B*H/2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original area.

So we can conclude that for any shape, the new area will be 9 times the original area.

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the graph of 3x + 4y = 12?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

{ \tt{slope =    \frac{1}{3} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

{ \tt{m _{1} \times m _{2}  =  - 1}} \\ { \tt{ - 3 \times m _{2}  =  - 1}} \\ { \tt{m _{2} =  \frac{1}{3}  }}
