Equation symbol is the name of what you are asking for
Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)
1. x/8=5/16
You first start by multiplying x and 16
Then multiply 5 and 8
So now you have 16x=40
Finally divide 16 from each side
You get: x+0.4!
2. 5/12=15/x
Remember to cross-multiply!
Now we have 5x=180
Next divide 5 from each side
You get: x=36!
Similar polygons are made through scaling either by stretching or squeezing the sides all by a common ratio. Here, the size changes. Congruent polygons are made by shifting or reflecting their position. Here, the size does not change.
Choice A has a dilution (or squeezing) and a translation (shifting). That makes similar polygons.
Choice B has a rotation. Nope.
Choice C has a shifting and a reflection. Nope.
Choice D has a rotation and shifting. Nope.
Thus choice A is best.
Answer:
33 inches to the nearest inch.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of an arc = rC where r = the radius and C is the angle through which it turns in radians.
So for the 23 inch radius: length = 23 * 135 * π / 180
and for the 9 inch radius: length = 9 * 135 * π / 180
The difference = 23 * 135 * π / 180 - 9 * 135 * π / 180
= 14 * 135 * π / 180
= 32.99 inches.
