The Helheim glacier in Greenland enters the ocean in a 6.3 kilometer wide fjord. The terminus of the glacier retreated 7.5 kilom

eters between May 2001 and June 2005. How many square kilometers of glacier surface area in the fjord were lost between 2001 and 2005?

Answer:

7.56 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Width of the fjord, w = 6.3 km

Retreated terminus of the glacier between may 2001 and June 2005, d = 7.5 km

thus, the length lost , y = 7.5 - 6.3 = 1.2 km

now, the area is given as:

A = Length × width

on substituting the values, we get

A = 1.2 × 6.3

or

A = 7.56 km²

Hence, the surface area lost by the glacier in the fjord is 7.56 km²

12. The width of a rectangle is 16.55 inches. The length of the rectangle is half its width.
zepelin [54]
The answer is D

16.55 divide by 2= 8.275
8.275+8.275+16.55+16.55=49.65

Can someone tell me if i did this right? im also not sure which one is the scale factor.
PIT_PIT [208]
If you are moving the center of circle 2 to the the center of circle 1, then the translation rule is (x,y) ---> (x+4, y+10). 
Note how x = 1 turns into x = 5. So we add 4
Also, y = -2 turns into y = 8. We add 10

The scale factor to turn the radius r = 4 into r = 8 is 2. Basically we double the radius. We can divide the two radii to see 8/4 = 2

----------------------------------

Summary:
To go from circle 2 to circle 1, we apply these two transformations
translation: (x,y) ---> (x+4, y+10)
dilation: scale factor 2

note: 
if you want to go backwards, go from circle 1 to circle 2, then undo the transformations above

Candace drives a total of 48 miles each day to get to work and back home. She works 5 days a week. Her car gets 21 miles per gal
vichka [17]

Answer:

11.43 gallons used exactly per week asuming not changes in schedule or any other reasons to drive and that a one way trip is 24 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

48 as total for two trips

five of these need to be done, so 240 miles a week assuming no other reason to drive

240 / 21 = 10 with remainder 30

so 11 and remainder 9

9/21 = nearly .43 gallons, which means as a minimum she shouldn't go below 11.5 and better yet 12 gallons.
