Answer:

2.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the side of each smaller square = 100 / 16 sq ft.

= 6.25 sq feet.

So the length of each smaller square = square root of 6.25

= 2.5 ft.

Polygon CCC has an area of 404040 square units. K 2ennan drew a scaled version of Polygon CCC using a scale factor of \dfrac12 1

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Area of polygon D = 10 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Polygon C has an area of 40 square units.

It is scaled with a scale factor of $\frac{1}2$ to form a new polygon D.

To find:

The area of polygon D = ?

Solution:

When any polygon is scaled to half, then all the sides of new polygon are half of the original polygon.

And the area becomes one-fourth of the original polygon.

Let us consider this by taking examples:

First of all, let us consider a right angled triangle with sides 6, 8 and 10 units.

Area of a right angled triangle is given by:

$A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times Base \times Height\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24\ sq\ units$

If scaled with a factor $\frac{1}{2}$ , the sides will be 3, 4 and 5.

New area, A':

$A' =\dfrac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 = 6\ sq\ units = \dfrac{1}4\times A$

i.e. Area becomes one fourth.

Let us consider a rectangle now.

Sides be 8 and 10 units.

Area of a rectangle, A = $Length \times Width$ = 8 $\times$ 10 = 80 sq units.

Now after scaling, the sides will be 4 and 5 units.

New Area, A' = 4 $\times$ 5 =20 sq units

So, $\bold{A' = \frac{1}4 \times A}$

Now, we can apply the same in the given question.

$\therefore$ Area of polygon D = $\bold{\frac{1}{4}}$ $\times$ Area of polygon C

Area of polygon D = $\bold{\frac{1}{4}}$ $\times$ 40 = 10 sq units

How would logx (49) = x look like in exponential form

Ivanshal [37]

I'm assuming the given log equation is $\log_{\text{x}}(49) = \text{x}$

If so, then the exponential form is $\text{x}^{\text{x}} = 49$

This is because the general form $\log_{\text{b}}(\text{x}) = \text{y}$ transforms into $\text{y} = \text{b}^{\text{x}}$

For both equations, the 'b' is the base.
