Answer:

9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that length of smaller side is x.

We have been given that the sides of a quadrilateral are 3, 4, 5, and 6. We are asked to find the length of the shortest side of a similar quadrilateral whose area is 9 times as great.

We know that sides of similar figures are proportional. When the proportion of  similar sides of two similar figures is \frac{m}{n}, then the proportion of their area is \frac{m^2}{n^2}.

We can see that length of smaller side of 1st quadrilateral is 3 units, so we can set a proportion as:

\frac{x^2}{3^2}=\frac{9}{1}

\frac{x^2}{9}=\frac{9}{1}

x^2=9\cdot 9

x^2=81

Take positive square root as length cannot be negative:

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{81}

x=9

Therefore, the length of the shortest side of the similar quadrilateral would be 9 units.

6. Which of the following is true about the
Gnom [1K]
C.
Y=mx + b is the formula (M being slope, and B being the y intercept) always start by going up or down by what the y-intercept number is, if it’s -9 you go down the y axis 9 numbers from the origin (0,0) and slope (m) is always better put in a fraction-5x is better put in -5/1x
Think of the top number of the fraction as ‘up/down’ and the bottom number as ‘over’ if the top number is negative you will go down from the y-intercept number that many times, the bottom number is how many spots you go over from that number , it is always to the right.

PLEASE HELP ME QUICKLY!!! Given that N:{1,2,3,5,8,13} and M:{−9,−8,−6,−4,−2,4}, which statements about N and M are true?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The intersection of N and M contains only those elements that are in both N and M.

The intersection of N and M is ϕ.

​N∩M=∅

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

M = { 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13}

N = {-9, -8, -6, -4, -2, 4}

Now let us see each statement one by one.

The intersection of N and M contains only those elements that are in both N and M.

The statement is true because by definition intersection of two sets consists of common elements of both sets.

The intersection of N and M is ϕ.

The statement is true. As there is no common element in both sets.

The intersection of N and M is {−9,−8,−6,−4,−2}.

The statement is false because there is not common element in M and N.

N∪M=∅

The statement is false as the union consists of elements of both sets so it can't be empty.

​N∩M=∅

True. Because no common element so intersection will be an empty set..
