Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor, or linear scale factor, is the ratio of two corresponding side lengths of similar figures. Similar figures have the same shape but are different sizes. The scale factor is used to solve geometric problems. You can use the scale factor to find the missing side lengths of a figure.

Question 2

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you want the trinomial (x*x - 6x + __ ) to be written as a binomial squared.

So we would need to realize that the constant would be equal to (-6/2)^2 =(-3)^2 = 9

We have completed the square.

f(x) = 4*( x - 3)^2 + 20 is now in Vertex Form

When Legs jumps 2 times and takes 13 steps forward, he lands in the same place as when he jumps 4 times and takes 5 steps backwa

tangare [24]

Answer:

9 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the number of jumps

and $y$ be the number of steps

So the first case

$2x+13y$

Second case

$4x-5y$

Both cover equal distances so

$2x+13y=4x-5y$

$\Rightarrow 2x-4x=-5y-13y$

$\Rightarrow 2x=18y$

$\Rightarrow x=9y$

So, one jumps is 9 steps.

Check the picture below.

$\textit{area of a circular ring}\\\\ A=\pi (R^2-r^2)~~ \begin{cases} r=\stackrel{smaller}{radius}\\ R=\stackrel{larger}{radius}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=2\\ R=3 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\pi (3^2-2^2)\implies A=5\pi \\\\\\ A\approx 15.71 \end{array}$
