Find the scale factor from A to B. Write the answer as a fraction(example: 5/6)

Mathematics

Answer:

The scale factor is 1.5, so 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the triangles are similar, so all we have to do is divide 12/8, 15/10, and/or 9/6. Then we get the answer 1.5. Although in a real world situation, this is fine. We need the fraction here, so look at the decimal. Notice it is .5 which is half. We also know that the number has a 1, which means one whole. Anyways, the .5 will make it easy to do a fraction with the denominator of 2 since you divide by two to get a half. Now we add our numerator which is 2 (from the 1) and + 1 (from the .5). Look we multiplied by two, two also happens to be our denominator, coincidence? I THINK NOT. Anyways, our final answer is 3/2 which is an enlargement.

There are 58 students enrolled in an art class. The day before the class begins, 10.3% of the students cancel. How many students
Sidana [21]
First, set up a proportion. 10.3% is the percentage of students who cancelled, but the question is asking for the students who are attending, so let’s use 89.7% to make it easier. The proportion would be x over 58 is equal to 89.7% over 100%. Multiply 58 by 89.7, giving you 5,202.6. Next, take 5,202.6 and divide it by 100. This should give you 52. 026, but it’s best to round this to 52. 52 students actually attend the art class, making this your final answer.

Ivanshal [37]
Since a polynomial is where we have like terms such as (1 x 10²) and (4 x 10²), we can add these up using the distributive property to get (5 x 10²) but still keep the 10². For example, it's similar to if we had 2x²+3x²=5x². The x² is still there, but we add up the 2 and 3. Similarly, we can add these up for 10^1 and 10^0

Using the converse of Pythagorean Theorem and the law of sines and cosines solve the word problem.
Helga [31]

Answer:

It's the law of cosines

Step-by-step explanation:

law of cosines states that c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab (cos(\alpha ))

so we know that a = 7, b = 4, and alpha would be 135 degrees, so just plugging it in gets us 49+16-2*7*4*(-0.707) = 65 + 39.59 = 104.59
