Answer:

The answer is \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer we have to know about similar polygons.

Any two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the measures of their corresponding sides are proportional.

So, if two sides are proportional, where "a" is the lenght of the first polygon and "b" is the lenght of the second polygon, the ratio of these sides is:

\frac{a}{b}=k

k is a rational number.

Applying the proportionality:

First polygon: its sides:

3

4

5

6

Second polygon: its sides:

9

x

y

z

These polygons are similar, so

\frac{9}{3}=k\\ k=3

So, "x","y" and "z" values are:

\frac{x}{4} =k=3\\x=4*3\\x=12\\\\\frac{y}{5}=k=3\\y=5*3\\y=15\\\\\frac{z}{6}=k=3\\z=6*3\\z=18

Finally, the perimeter is the sum of the sides of the polygon, so the ratio of their perimeters is:

P1=Perimeter first polygon

P2=Perimeter second polygon

r=Ratio of their perimeters

P1=3+4+5+6=18\\P2=9+12+15+18=54\\\\r=\frac{P1}{P2}=\frac{18}{54}=\frac{1}{3}

The given polygon has a perimeter of 3 + 5 + 4 + 6 = 18
A similar polygon has sides that are 3 times as big ot 9 + 15 + 12 + 18 = 54

The ratio is 18/54 or 1/3

Last year the highest temperature in a city was recorded as 23ºC, and the lowest temperature was recorded as -10ºC. How many deg
DerKrebs [107]

33 degrees C

Step-by-step explanation:

On the integer scale, the numeric values can be added thus

23 to -10

23 to 0 and 0 to -10

23-0 = 23

0 -(-10) = 10

23 + 10 = 33

Thus, 33 degree C is the difference between the two temperatures.
