The length of the side of the hexagon or square is 24 units.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that, a square and a regular hexagon have side of the same length.

The length is not given in the problem. So, let us assume the length of the side of hexagon or square as 'x'.

The additional information given is that, the perimeter of the square increased by 48 units will be equal to the perimeter of the hexagon.

  • The perimeter of the square = 4 × length of the side.
  • Then, the perimeter of the square increased by 48 units = (4x + 48).
  • The perimeter of the hexagon = 6 × length of the side.
  • Therefore, the perimeter of the hexagon = 6x.

<u>To calculate the length x of square and hexagon :</u>

Comparing both the perimeters of square and hexagon,

⇒ (4x + 48) = 6x

⇒ 48 = 6x-4x

⇒ 2x = 48

⇒ x = 48/2

⇒ x = 24 units.

The length of the side of the hexagon or square is 24 units.

If triangle ABC is defined by the coordinated A(3,6), B(7,6), C(7,3) is dilated by a scale factor of 3, with resulting vertex A'
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Center of dilation → (0, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices of a triangle ABC are A(3, 6), B(7, 6) and C(7, 3).

If this triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 'k' about the origin,

Rule for the dilation is,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

If vertex A is dilated by a scale factor of 3 about the origin,

A(3, 6) → A'(3×3, 3×6)

           → A'(9, 18)

Therefore, center of dilation is origin (0, 0).

Rectangle J'K'L'M' shown on the grid is the image of rectangle JKLM after transformation. The same transformation will be applie
adoni [48]

Answer:

Location of T' on the coordinate axis will be (16,7).

T (6,4) → T' (16,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinate vertices of points in rectangle JKLM are:

J (-8,-8)

K (-4,-8)

L (-4,-5)

M (-8,-5)

and coordinate vertices of points in rectangle J'K'L'M' are:

J' (2,-5)

K' (6,-5)

L' (6,-2)

M' (2,-2)

coordinate vertices of points in Quadrilateral STUV are:

S (1,4)

T (6,4)

U (4,6)

V (2,6)


transformation in coordinate vertices from rectangle JKLM to rectangle J'K'L'M' is:

J (-8,-8) → J' (2,-5)

⇒ along x axis -8 → 2 which means that rectangle is shifting towards right by 10 units.

and along y axis -8 → -5 which means that the rectangle is shifting upwards by 3 units.

similarly for

K (-4,-8) → K' (6,-5)

⇒ along x axis -4 → 6 which means that rectangle is shifting towards right by 10 units.

and along y axis -8 → -5 which means that the rectangle is shifting upwards by 3 units.

L (-4,-5) → L' (6,-2)

⇒ along x axis -4 → 6 which means that rectangle is shifting towards right by 10 units.

and along y axis -5 → -2 which means that the rectangle is shifting upwards by 3 units.

M (-8,-5) → M' (2,-2)

⇒ along x axis -8 → 2 which means that rectangle is shifting towards right by 10 units.

and along y axis -5 → -2 which means that the rectangle is shifting upwards by 3 units.


So, the location of T' of the Quadrilateral S'T'U'V' on the coordinate plane will be:

along x axis the Quadrilateral will shift towards right by 10 units

So, 6 → 6+10=16

and along y axis the Quadrilateral will shift upwards by 3 units

So, 4 → 4+3=7

⇒ T (6,4) → T' (16,7).

guapka [62]

Answer:

3/8 of the total distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

After Saturday = 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8 of distance left.

Sunday = 5/8 x 3/5 = 3/8 distance.

Hope this helps!

Steve bought a new graduated cylinder for his chemistry class.It holds 1,058.75 of liquid. If the cylinder has a radius of 5.5 c
patriot [66]

Answer:

35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cylinder = πr²h

πr²h = 1058.75π

Divide both sides by π.

r²h = 1058.75 cm³

r = 5.5 cm

Substitute r² with (5.5 cm)².

(5.5 cm)²h = 1058.75 cm³

h = 1058.75/30.25 cm

h = 35 cm
