Miranda enlarged a picture twice as shown below, each time using a scale factor of 3.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Verify each statement</em></u>

1) The area of the first enlargement is 72 square inches.

The statement is false

Because

we know that

The original dimensions of the rectangle are

length 6 inches and width 4 inches

First enlargement

Multiply the original dimensions by a scale factor of 3

$Length: 6(3)=18\ inches\\Width: 4(3)=12\ inches$

The area of the first enlargement is

$18(12)=216\ in^2$

2) The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The statement is true

Multiply the dimensions of the first enlargement by a scale factor of 3

$Length: 18(3)=54\ inches\\Width: 12(3)=36\ inches$

The area of the second enlargement is

$54(36)=1,944\ in^2$

3) The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The statement is true

Because

The original area is 24 square inches

$[(3^2)]^2(24)=1,944\ in^2$

4) The area of the second enlargement is 3 times the area of the first enlargement

The statement is false

Because

$3(216)=648\ in^2$

$648\ in^2 \neq 1,944\ in^2$

5) The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

The statement is true

Because

The square of the scale factor is 3^2=9

and the ratio is equal to

$\frac{216}{24}=9$

A triangle has one side that is 6 units long and another side that is 3 units long.

kiruha [24]

The possible value of the third length is an illustration of Triangle inequality theorem

The possible third lengths are 4 units and 6 units

<h3>How to determine the possible length of the third side?</h3>

To determine the third length, we make use of the following Triangle inequality theorem.

a + b > c

Let the third side be x.

So, we have:

x + 6 > 3

x + 3 > 6

3 + 6 > x

Solve the inequalities

x > -3

x > 3

x < 9

Remove the negative inequality value.

So, we have:

x > 3 or x < 9

Rewrite as:

3 < x or x < 9

Combine the inequality

3 < x < 9

This means that the possible value of the third length is between 3 and 9 (exclusive)

Hence, the possible third lengths are 4 units and 6 units
