<u>ANSWER: </u>

After changing the side lengths of the triangle are decreased by scale factor of 3, the perimeter of triangle also decreased by 3

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, the side lengths of a triangle are decreased by a scale factor of 3.

Let the side lengths of the given triangle be a, b, c.

After the side lengths are decreased by a scale factor of 3.

Now, the side lengths will become  \frac{a}{3} , \frac{b}{3} , \frac{c}{3}

Before changing the side lengths, perimeter of the triangle is p =  a + b + c.

After changing the side lengths, perimeter of the triangle is \frac{a}{3}+\frac{b}{3}+\frac{c}{3}

=\frac{a+b+c}{3}

=\frac{p}{3}

So, the perimeter is also decreased by the scale factor of 3.

Hence, after changing the side lengths of the triangle are decreased by scale factor of 3, the perimeter of triangle also decreased by 3.

four pieces of pie were eaten from a pie cut into equal parts. The 5 pieces that remained created an angle that measured 200°. W
Morgarella [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 pieces that remained created an angle that measured 200 degree means that the 4 pieces made 360-200 degrees 160o.

If all four made 160 then each has to be 160/4 = 40o

200/5 also gives you 40 (the five remaining)

360/9 would also give you 40 9the 5 remaining and the 4 eaten)

I hope this helps

Jaya forgets how to write numbers in expanded form. Explain the steps to her using the number 13.652 as an example, and then wri
Amanda [17]
In the expanded form the digits of the number are split into each of the individual digits with their place value and written in expanded form. The example of standard form of a number is 4,982 and the same number can be written in expanded form as 4 × 1000 + 9 × 100 + 8 × 10 + 2 × 1 = 4000 + 900 + 80 + 2.

What is the perpendicular slope to 6/-3
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Perpendicular slope is \frac{3}{6} or \frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the perpendicular slope be x.

The given slope is \frac{6}{-3}

For perpendicular slopes, the product of the slopes is equal to -1.

Therefore, x\times \frac{6}{-3}=-1\\-\frac{6}{3}x=-1\\6x=3\\x=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the perpendicular slope is \frac{3}{6} or \frac{1}{2}.
