Answer:
x=12 and the scale factor is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From D' to F' is 7.5 and from D to F is 5cm the difference is 2.5. From F' to E' is x and from F to E is 8. This is just understanding what you can see. You find x by figuring out the ratio from 5 to 7.5 is and 8 to x or vise versa. It depends which way you are going. I think you are going from E,D,F to E',D',F'. So from 5cm to 7.5 cm. This is 1.5 because you are dividing 7.5/5. If you needed to find x, it would be 12.
well, we know the "sum" of both angles is 90°, notice the rectangle in the corner, so we can say that the angles are simply complementary angles, thus

multiply the length and with by the scale factor:
24 x 4/3 = 32 feet
20 x 4/3 = 26 2/3 feet
Area is length x width:
32 x 26 2/3 = 853 1/3 square feet.
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
(-6 - 4) / (3 * -4) [substitute a and b]
-10 / -12 [multiply the values in parenthesis]
5 / 6 [simplify by dividing by the common factor 2]
