OK the problem is focusing on VOLUME and TIME.. you can set up this problem like this... (v1/t1) x (v2/t2). first we plug in what we know. the first container was filled in 4 minutes so this is our "T1". However we weren't giving the volume of the first container but we were given its dimensions. the volume formula is LxWxH. so we plug in 9x11x12 to get 1188. this is our "V1". the same concept applies for the volume of the aquarium. we have its dimensions so just plug in. 24x25x33 = 19800 this is our "V2". the thing we are left trying to find is T2. so now you can do some cross multiplying and division. (T1xV2)/V1 or (4x19800)/1188 and you get 66.67min or 1h and 6.67mins. and thats how long it took to fill the aquarium.
Answer:
Gimme some time
Step-by-step explanation:
You divide 46 by 5.2 and the answer should be 8.8 inches.
Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2
====================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.
If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
