Since these are similar triangles you can use any two corresponding sides to figure out the scale factor.

Use the bottom side. Going from the first triangle to the second the scale factor is:
15/9 = 5/3

100 points!! Brainliest if correct!!
Elena-2011 [213]

surface area (S) of a right rectangular solid is:

S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)

where:

L = length

W = width

H = height

-----

you have:

L = 7

W = a

H = 4

-----

formula becomes:

S = 2*7*a + 2*7*4 + 2*a*4

simplify:

S = 14*a + 56 + 8*a

combine like terms:

S = 22*a + 56

-----

answer is:

S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)

-----

to prove, substitute any value for a in equation 2:

let a = 15

S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)

S = 22*15 + 56

S = 330 + 56

S = 386

-----

since a = 15, then W = 15 because W = a

go back to equation 1 and substitute 15 for W:

S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)

where:

L = length

W = width

H = height

-----

you have:

L = 7

W = 15

H = 4

-----

equation 1 becomes:

S = 2*7*15 + 2*7*4 + 2*15*4

perform indicated operations:

S = 210 + 56 + 120

S = 386

-----

surface area is the same using both equations so:

equations are good.

formula for surface area of right rectangle in terms of a is:

S = 22*a + 56

-----

What is the period of the graph y=1/2sin (pix)+3?<br><br> A- 3<br> B- 1/2<br> C-pi <br> D-2
dimaraw [331]

The period is 2.

Normally the period of sin(x) is 2pi, but the pi inside the sin(pix) is a horizontal compression by a factor of 1/pi.  So 2pi·1/pi = 2

The "1/2" and "+3" do not impact the period.  Those just impact the amplitude (vertical aspect) of the graph.
