What is a scale factor?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Blababa [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Here is some helpful information from my mini lessons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides. Here you'll learn that the ratio of the perimeters of similar figures is equal to their scale factor and that the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of their scale factor. If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor. This means that the ratio of all parts of a polygon is the same as the ratio of the sides.

Subtitute the pair (3,28) to x and y, if the result in right side is -8, then the pair is a solution to the equation

2x - y/2
= 2(3) - 28/2
= 6 - 14
= -8

The result is -8, so the pair (3,28) is a solution

What part of the circumference is an arc whose measure is 30°?<br> 1/12<br> 1/10<br> 1/8<br> 1/6
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole circumference (i.e complete circle) is an arc which measures 360°

in our case, it is given that our arc measures only 30°

the fraction of our arc of 30° to the complete circle of 360° is

30/360

= 3/36

= 1/12

7x -7/2 y = -49
7/2 y = 7x + 49
y = 2x + 14
y - intercept = 14
x - intercept : 2x + 14 = 0 so x = -7

answer is C.
x - intercept : -7
y - intercept : 14
