ow you to find out how many more points the player needs to tie the record?
A. 56 + x = 72
B. 72 + x = 56
C. 56 + 72 = x
D. 56 − 72 = x

A because if you subtract 56 from both sides, then x would show you what equals the tied record

Umnica [9.8K]

The number of teams she can make is 10.

<h3>How many teams can she make?</h3>

Division is the process of putting a number into equal groups using another number. The sign used to denote division is ÷. Division is one of the basic mathematical operations. Other basic mathematical operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication.

The number of teams that can be made can be determined by dividing the total number of friends by the total number of players in each team. The whole number that is derived from the division process is the number of teams teams that can be made given the total number of friends and the number of people that have to be in each group.

Number of teams she can make = total number of friends / number of people in each group

31 / 3 = 10 remainder 1

So, only 10 teams can be made. one person would not be on any team.

1. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter o

tester [92]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor (see the explanation)

Part 2) The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

so

The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor

Part 2) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

so

The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

we know that

If the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally, then the ratio of the corresponding sides of the new figure and the original figure are not proportional

That means

The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures

therefore

Corresponding sides are not proportional and corresponding angles are not congruent

so

<u><em>A) If the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2W ----> P=6L+2W

The perimeter of the new figure is greater than the perimeter of the original figure but are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W) ----> A=3LW

The area of the new figure is three times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

<u><em>B) If the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2(W/4) ----> P=6L+W/2

The perimeter of the new figure and the perimeter of the original figure are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W/4) ----> A=(3/4)LW

The area of the new figure is three-fourth times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

This is due tomorrow and PLEASE HELP ME ON THESE QUESTIONS! THIS IS DUE TOMORROW!

3: multiply the change per minute by how many minutes: 3.1x15=46.5. 5: Is your opinion, I can't tell you how to feel. But a negative times a negative is a positive, so if there is an even number of negatives no matter how many positives there are it will be positive, if there is an odd number of negatives it will be negative. :) Hope this helps!
