The correct answer is option B
Answer:
2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The old width of 4 inches became a new width of 9 inches.
Old: 4 in.
New 9 in.
The old length of 6 inches became a new length of 13.5 inches.
Divide the new size by the corresponding old size.
9/4 = 2.25
13.5/6 = 2.25
You see in both cases, the scale factor is 2.25
The scale factor is 2.25
actually none of them since 212 is the biggest number and should be at the end but none of the answers say so
Fun, geometry disguised as probability.
That's a pentagon, which we can view as 10 right triangles with legs a and s/2 (half of s) and hypotenuse r. So area of the pentagon is
P = 10 × (1/2) a (s/2) = 10 (1/2) (3.2) (4.7/2) = 37.6
The area of the circle is πr² so the circle area is
C = π (4²) = 50.265482
The white area is the difference, C-P, and the probability we seek is the fraction of the circle that's white, so (C-P)/C.
p = (C-P)/C =1-P/C = 1-37.6/50.265482 = 0.251971
Answer: 0.25
Higher than I would have guessed from the figure.
