A line of symmetry is a line that divides a figure into two parts such that each part is the mirror image of the other. In other words, if we flip one side of the figure over the line of symmetry, it should match up <em>exactly</em> with the other side.

Let's look at a 2 examples.

In the first image provided, notice that if we flip the left side of the figure over the right side, the two sides will not match up so this is not a line of symmetry.

In the second image, if we flip the left side of the line on to the right side, it matches up exactly so it's a line of symmetry.

Answer:

625 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest area of a polygon with a given perimeter is that of a regular polygon. A regular rectangle is one that has all sides the same length -- a square. The side length of a square with 100 ft perimeter is 25 ft. The area of a square with such a side length is

A = (25 ft)² = 625 ft²

The maximum possible area is 625 ft².

In the attached, x is the length of one side. The area versus side length is plotted. The maximum is seen to be 625 ft² for a side length of 25 ft.

Which of the following examples best represents the use of an interval scale? measuring the number of cookie boxes sold by scout

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

students' ratings of their professors' performance on a five-point scale ranging from poor to excellent

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four type of scales in mathematics. They include:

1. Nominal scale : they do not measure quantity. they are used to classify a population into two or more scales that are exhaustive and mutually exclusive. e.g. classifying a population based on gender, naming the different car brands seen in a school's parking lot

2. Ordinal scale : this scale measures ranks a population from best to worst or from least to most. e.g. ranking the participants of a race based on their performance

3. Interval scale : this scale has the property of order and equal intervals. Zero is not meaningful.

Interval scale is used when the difference between the numbers are meaningful. e.g. students' ratings of their professors' performance on a five-point scale ranging from poor to excellent Here a child who is scored 1, did very poorly and a child scored 5, performed excellently well.

4. Ratio scale : this scale has the property of order, a meaningful zero and equal intervals.
