Answer:

Yes, they are similar. The scale factor is 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest to the shortest side of quadrilateral KLMJ are: JM, ML, KJ, LK

The longest to the shortest side of quadrilateral QPSR are: QP, PS, RQ, SR

If the two quadrilaterals are similar, the following proportion must be satisfied:

JM = k*QP

ML = k*PS

KJ = k*RQ

LK  = k*SR

where k is the scale factor. Solving for k and replacing with lengths:

k = 25/15 = 24/14.4 = 20/12 = 15/9 = 5/3

From the figure, we can also see that:

∠M ≅ ∠P

∠L ≅ ∠S

∠R ≅ ∠K

∠Q ≅ ∠J

Therefore, the two quadrilaterals are similar.

Mrs. Culland is finding the center of a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 + 6x + 4y – 3 = 0 by completing the square. Her work is
andrew11 [14]

The correct answer is:

(x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 4^2, so the center is (–3, –2)

Further explanation:

The given equation of circle is:

x^2+y^2+6x+4y-3 = 0

In order to complete the square the terms have to be combined first

x^2+y^2+6x+4y = 3\\x^2+6x+y^2+4y=3\\(x^2+6x)+(y^2+4y) = 3

9 and 4 will be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square

(x^2+6x+9)+(y^2+4y+4) = 3+9+4\\(x^2+6x+9)+(y^2+4y+4) = 16

The next step completes the work

(x+3)^2+(y+2)^2 = (4)^2\\

Comparing with the standard form of circle

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\x - h = x+3\\h=-3\\y-k = y+2\\k = -2

As the centre is (h,k), the centre of given circle will be:

(-3,-2)

Hence the correct answer is:

(x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 4^2, so the center is (–3, –2)

Write 2^ 100 as a power with the following base of 16 brianly. <br> Pls answer quickly
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  16^25

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable relation is ...

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  2^100 = 16^x = (2^4)^x = 2^(4x)

Equating exponents, we have ...

  100 = 4x

  25 = x

Then 2^100 = 16^25.
