Answer:
The scale factor used to go from P to Q is 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z ----> the scale factor
x -----> area of polygon Q
y -----> area of polygon P

we have

Find the area of polygon Q
Divide the the area of polygon Q in two triangles and three squares
The area of the polygon Q is equal to the area of two triangles plus the area of three squares
see the attached figure N 2
Find the area of triangle 1

Find the area of three squares (A2,A3 and A4)

Find the area of triangle 5

The area of polygon Q is

Find the scale factor

we have

substitute and solve for z


square root both sides

therefore
The scale factor used to go from P to Q is 1/4
Answer:
BC = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
If the three points are collinear, it means they lie on the same straight line.
Now B lies between A and C
By mathematical convention;
AC = AB + BC
This means;
48 = 2x + 2 + 3x + 6
48 = 5x + 8
48-8 = 5x
5x = 40
x = 40/5
x = 8
From the question BC = 3x + 6
Substitute the value of x; 3(8) + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30
In order to figure this out you need to use
Descartes Rule. I attached a picture showing Descartes Rule. If the signs changes for when x is positive then the number of times it changes are the possible positive solution. If the sign changes when x is negative then the number of times it changes are the possible negative solutions. With that said the answer is A. View the picture I have attached for the possible + - and imaginary solutions.
Answer = A) One possible positive solution.
