Answer:
39 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that the 3.5 cups of concentrate make 3.5+3 = 6.5 cups of tea, we can use the proportion ...
6.5/3.5 = x/21
to find the x cups of tea Ahab can make with 21 cups of concentrate.
Multiplying by 21, we get ...
x = 21(6.5/3.5) = 39
Ahab can make 39 cups of tea.
Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2
====================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.
If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
Its not the whole problem :{
4 ^ (1/7 ) is the 7th root of 4 or the 3rd box
4 ^ (7/2) is 4 to the 7th power then the square root or the 2nd box
7 ^ (1/4) is the 4th root of 7 or the 4th box
7 ^ (1/2) is the square root of 7 or the 6th box
