Step-by-step explanation:

QR- 2(9-3)=

2(6)=12

MP- 9+5=14

QRS=MNP

12/8, 15/10, 21/14= 3/1

Scale Factor is 3:1 or 3 to 1

All the dimensions of a triangle were multiplied by the same factor. If the base of the triangle went from 1 centimeter to 3 cen

timama [110]

The answer is 9.

To calculate this, we will use Galileo's square cube law, used to describe the change of the area or the volume of the shape, when their dimensions increase or decrease. The formula used for change of the area is
$A_2= A_1 (\frac{l_2}{l_1} )^{2}$
A₂ - the area after the change,
A₁ - the area before the change,
l₂ - the dimension after the change,
l₁ - the dimension before the change.

It is given:
l₁ = 1 cm
l₂ = 3 cm

Let's use this formula for the mentioned triangle:
$A_2=A_1( \frac{l_2}{l_1}) ^{2} =A_1( \frac{3}{1})^{2} =A_1*3 ^{2} =9A_1$

Therefore, the area of the triangle was multiplied by 9.

Find the radius of a circle whose area equals the area of a rectangle that measures 2 ft. by 11 ft. (Use = 22/7). . . r = SQRT _

const2013 [10]

The area of a rectangle is calculated through the equation, V = L x W. That of the circle is equal to V = πr². These areas should be equal,
V = L x W = πr²
Substituting the known values,
2 ft x 11 ft = (22/7)(r²)
The value of r is sqrt 7.
