The length of the rectangle is = 72 cm
The width of the rectangle is = 56 cm
Area of the rectangle is =
= cm²
As given, the other rectangle has the same area as this one, but its width is 21 cm.
Let the length here be = x
Hence, length is 192 cm.
We can see that as width decreases, the length increases if area is constant and when length decreases then width increases if area is constant.
So, in the new rectangle,constant of variation=k is given by,
or
Hence, the constant of variation is
Answer:
The scale factor is 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale factor, you look at the length of any two sides that correspond to each other. For example, in the diagram we can see that the side with the length of 4 on the smaller pentagon corresponds to the side with the length of 8.8 on the larger pentagon.
To find the scale factor, you divide the length of the side of the larger pentagon, by the length of the side of the smaller pentagon.
The scale factor is 2.2
