What is one way to remember that one-fourth is the same as 0.25? Next, explain how 1/2 is the same as 0.5.

1 answer:

4 0

One way to remember 0.25 = 1/4 is that a dollar is 1.00 and 0.25 can multiply 4 times into 1.00

One way to remember 0.5 = 1/2 is that 0.5 is half of a dollar

PLEASSEEEE HELP ASAP , WHAT IS THE SHAPE OF THE BASE AND SURFACE AREA?

zmey [24]

Answer:

Total surface area : 733

The shape of the base is a rectangle with sides 11 in. and 12 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the base is a rectangle with sides 11 in. and 12 in.

The surface area is the sum of the areas of the 5 sides.

Area of the base = 11*12 = 132

Area of the two triangles = (11*16)/2 = 88

Area of the back rectangle = 192

The theorem of Pitagora to find the oblique side: square root of (11*11 + 16*16)= 19.42 in.

So the area of the oblique face: 19.42* 12 = 233 (almost :) )

So total surface area: 132 + 88*2+192+233= 733 square in

Eric drew a scale drawing of a country park. The scale he used was 1 inch = 2.5 yards. The picnic area is 80 yards wide in real

Alchen [17]

If 1 inch = 2.5 yards then
x inch = 80 yards
cross multiplying we have:
80 × 1 = x × 2.5
x = 80÷ 2.5 = 32 inches
therefore the picnic area is 32 inches in the drawing.

A triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/5 and then rotated 90 degree clockwise about the origin. Why is the image similar t

yan [13]

Answers:
The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent
The image is a reduction of the pre-image
Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle

Explanation:
For shapes to be similar:
1- there should be a ratio between the sides
2- angles in first shape should be congruent to angles in second shape

Now, a scale factor of 0.2 means that the sides of the image are 0.2 of the length of the original shape. However, angles are not changes

Let's check the choices:
1- The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent:
This option is incorrect as dilation changes the lengths of the sides

2- The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent:
This option is correct as neither dilation nor rotation alters the measures of the angles

3- The corresponding sides of the image are 5 times as long as those of the pre-image:
This option is incorrect as the sides of the image are only 0.2 times as long as those of the pre-image

4- The image is a reduction of the pre-image:
This option is correct as the sides of the image are 0.2 times those of the pre-image which means that the shape is reduced

5- Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle:
This option is correct as both dilation and rotation are rigid transformations that do not alter the shape of the triangle (a triangle remains a triangle only with different side lengths)

6- The rotation reduces the size of the triangle:
This option is incorrect as rotation does not alter the size of the shape. It only changes its position

Hope this helps :)

What is the solution set of x2 + 5x - 5 = 0?

Llana [10]

If you're completing the square the answer is in the image.

expression

x^2 + 5x - 5=ax^2+bx+c

a=1, b=5, c=-5, and you can solve it that way.
