Answer:

The scale factor is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

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

Let

z -----> the scale factor

x -----> area of polygon Q

y ----> area of polygon P

so

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

y=5\ units^2

<em>Find the area of polygon Q</em>

Divide the polygon Q into five squares

see the attached figure N 2

The area of polygon Q (area of the  five squares)  is

x=5(3^2)=45\ units^2

<em>Find the scale factor</em>

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=45\ units^2

y=5\ units^2

substitute

z^{2}=\frac{45}{5}

z^{2}=9

square root both sides

z=3

therefore

The scale factor is 3

Show why the following statement is true:<br> 2^−1/2 = 1/2^1/2
Alik [6]

In order to solve a negative exponent, you have to consider the multiplicative inverse of the base:

a^{-m}=\dfrac{1}{a^m}=\left(\dfrac{1}{a}\right)^m

So, if we solve the negative exponent on the left hand side, we have

2^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{1}{2^\frac{1}{2}}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}

which is the right hand side.
