Answer:

  65,280

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the 4×4 grid ...

  \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\d&c\end{array}\right]

where each of a, b, c, d is a 2×2 array of tiles. Let's use the notation a' to represent the 2×2 array "a" rotated right 1/4 turn. For 90° rotational symmetry, we must have b=a', c=b'=a'', d=c'=b''=a'''. That is, once "a" is determined, the rest of the grid is determined. Since "a" consists of 4 tiles, each of which can be black or white, there are 2^4 = 16 patterns that have 90° rotational symmetry.

The same will be true of 270° rotational symmetry, for the same reason.

__

For 180° rotational symmetry, we must have c=a'' and d=b''. Then the combination of "a" and "b" together fully determines the grid. Together, "a" and "b" consist of 8 tiles, so there are 2^8 = 256 ways to pattern the grid so it will have 180° rotational symmetry. (Of those, 16 have 90° symmetry, and 16 have 270° symmetry. The sets are overlapping.)

__

The 16 tiles of the grid can be colored 2^16 = 65,536 different ways. As we have seen, 256 of those colorings result in 180° rotational symmetry. Then the number of colorings that have no rotational symmetry is ...

  65,536 -256 = 65,280 . . . . colorings not rotationally symmetric

The difference of x and 18 is greater than or equal to -12<br><br>its a inequality question
slavikrds [6]

Writing the word problem as an equation you get:

x - 18 ≥ -12

Now to solve for x:

Add 18 to both sides of the inequality:

x ≥ -12 + 18

Simplify:

x ≥ 6

Wittaler [7]

The range that is appropriate to use to represent the numerical data is 0.0 to 26.0.

<h3>What is a line graph?</h3>

A line graph is a graph that is used to represent numerical data. It shows the changes in the data with the passage of time. There are two axes on a line graph, the vertical axis and the horizontal axis. The range of the vertical axis should start from 0 and end at the largest number of data set.

State whether or not the following triangles are similar. If not, explain why not. If so, write a similarity statement
valentinak56 [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP; SF: 3/2 (smaller to larger)

  b) no; different angles

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The triangles will be similar if their angles are congruent. The scale factor will be the ratio of any side to its corresponding side.

The third angle in ∆RLG is 180° -79° -67° = 34°. So, the two angles 34° and 67° in ∆RLG match the corresponding angles in ∆NCP. The triangles are similar by the AA postulate.

Working clockwise around each figure, the sequence of angles from lower left is 34°, 79°, 67°. So, we can write the similarity statement by naming the vertices in the same order: ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP.

The scale factor relating the second triangle to the first is ...

  NC/RL = 45/30 = 3/2

__

b) In order for the angles of one triangle to be congruent to the angles of the other triangle, at least one member of a list of two of the angles must match for the two triangles. Neither of the numbers 57°, 85° match either of the numbers 38°, 54°, so we know the two triangles have different angle measures. They cannot be similar.
