Answer:

part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2

part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4

part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).

we know that

The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$\frac{CB}{C'B'}=\frac{CD}{C'D'}=\frac{BD}{B'D'}$

The scale factor is equal to

$z=\frac{CB}{C'B'}$

substitute

$z=\frac{4}{8}$

simplify

$z=\frac{1}{2}$

Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?

<em>Area of the small triangle</em>

$A=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)=4\ units^2$

<em>Area of the large triangle</em>

$A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(8)=16\ units^2$

ratio of the areas (small to large)

$ratio=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}$

Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures

In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Amar keeps picking playing cards out of a standard deck of 52 cards in the hopes that he will

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The required probability is, 0.78

Step-by-step explanation:

There are, (52 - 13) = 39 cards which are not spade

5 cards can be chosen from the deck of 52 cards in

$^{52}{C}_{5}$ ways

and out of these 5 choices, none of them will be spade in,

$^{39}{C}_{5}$ ways

So,

P(None of the chosen cards is spade)

= $\frac {^{39}{C}_{5}}{^{52}{C}_{5}}$

$\simeq 0.22$

Hence,

P(out of these 5 choices, at least one card is spade)

$\simeq (1 - 0.22)$

= 0.78

If it takes 6 hours for a plane to travel 720km with a tail wind and 8 hours to make the return trip with a head wind. Find the

denis-greek [22]

The speed of wind and plane are 105 kmph and 15 kmph respectively.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, it takes 6 hours for a plane to travel 720 km with a tail wind and 8 hours to make the return trip with a head wind.

We have to find the air speed of the plane and speed of the wind.

Now, let the speed wind be "a" and speed of aeroplane be "b"

And, we know that, distance = speed x time.

$\text { Now, at tail wind } \rightarrow 720=(a+b) \times 6 \rightarrow a+b=\frac{720}{6} \rightarrow a+b=120 \rightarrow(1)$

Now at head wind → $720=(a-b) \times 8 \rightarrow a-b=\frac{720}{8} \rightarrow a-b=90 \rightarrow(2)$

So, solve (1) and (2) by addition

2a = 210

a = 105

substitute a value in (1) ⇒ 105 + b = 120

⇒ b = 120 – 105 ⇒ b = 15.

Here, relative speed of plane during tail wind is 120 kmph and during head wind is 90 kmph.

Hence, speed of wind and plane are 105 kmph and 15 kmph respectively.
