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

What word describes the slopes of the line
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple ways we can go about this.

First, we can see that as x increases, so does y, so that means its positive

For perspective, if x is the amount of time and y is the number of sales, we can see that the sales are going up and not going down or staying at the same place

If you wanna check your work on that, you can plot two points and find the slope using y1-y1/x1-x2 and the slope will be positive.

We can also use the process of elimination, we know it can't be zero because it's not a straight, horizontal line and we know its not undefined because it isn't a straight vertical line, so it's between negative and positive, and since the line is going up, that means that it's positive.

Q # 28 please solve the equation
o-na [289]
The height of the pole = 129.3 ft

sin 36° = height of pole/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 220 ft

the height of the pole = 220 sin 36° = 129.3 ≈ 129 ft

The local public pool is a rectangle with two semicircles.
Reptile [31]

The area of the surface of the pool is 7322.64 m².

<h3>What is Area of rectangle?</h3>

The area of rectangle is product of length and its breadth.

i.e., length * breadth

Given: Length = 100 m, Width = 52 m and Diameter = 52 m

Area of rectangle,

= 100 × 52

= 5200 m²

Now,

Area of semicircle = 1/2 × πr²

=1/2 × 3.14 × 26²

= 1061.32 m²

Hence, area of the surface of the pool is

= 1061.32 + 1061.32 + 5200

= 7322.64 m²
