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.

The mean hourly salary of the 10 employees at a fast­food restaurant is $8.25. One of the employees earning $6.50 an hour leaves
IgorC [24]
You would add $8.25 + $5.50, which equals $13.75. Then you would divide that number by the number of employees currently working at the fast food restaurant; $13.75 / 2 = $6.875. So, $6.88 would be the new mean salary of the employees.

Diffusion- The process by which molecules spread themselves out evenly in a given area. This happens by natural molecular movement.How do particles move across membranes?- by osmosis, active transport, simple diffusion and facilitated diffusionSimple/Passive Diffusion<span>- No energy
- Happens across cell membrane
- From high to low concentration ("down the concentration gradient")</span>Controlled/Facilitated Diffusion- diffusion across a membrane through specific protein channels in the membrane, with no energy costOsmosis- Simple diffusion of waterActive Transport<span>- Requires energy
- Happens only at specific channels
- From low to high concentration ("against the concentration gradient")</span>Concentration Gradient- difference in concentration of a substance between one area and anotherGradient- Different or unevenSemi-Permeability<span>- a type of biological membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion 
(- maintain a balance of water in the cell

- ability to control the amount and kind of substances through the cell membranes )</span>What must we understand? (homeostasis- cells)- Cells constantly change concentrations to their benefit and to maintain stable internal conditions.Endocytosis- the movement of bulk liquids or solids into a cell, by the indentation of the plasma membrane to form vesicles containing the substance; active process requiring ATPEndo--means 'inside'Exocytosis- the movement of bulk liquids or solids out of a cell by fusion of vesicles containing the substance with the plasma membrane; active process requiring ATPExo--means 'outside'How many types of Endocytosis are there?- 3 types of endocytosis-- phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor mediated endocytosisPhagocytosis- In endocytosis, if the substances being taken in are particles, such as bacteria, then process is called phagocytosisPinocytosis- In endocytosis, if the substances are in solution, such as the end products of digestion, then the process is called pinocytosisReceptor-Mediated Endocytosis- is an endocytotic mechanism in which specific molecules are ingested into the cell.Water Potential- the tendency of water molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentrationPlasmolysis- Shrinkage of protoplasm away from the cell wall of a plant or bacterium due to water loss from osmosis, therefore resulting in gaps between the cell wall and cell membrane.Protoplasm- the fluid living content of the cell-- composed mainly of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydratesTypes of Solutions<span>- hypotonic

Mr. Gephart is traveling from his house to the history museum. How many meters will he travel to the museum? The distance from h
snow_lady [41]

Answer: 6700 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we are informed that Gephart is traveling from his house to the history museum and that the distance from home to the history museum is six and seven-tenths kilometers.

In order to know the distance in meters

that he will travel to the museum, we have to multiply the convert the distance given in kilometers to meters. This will be:

1000 meters = 1 kilometer

Therefore, 6 7/10km = (6 7/10 × 1000m)

= 6 7/10 × 1000

= 67/10 × 1000

= 67 × 100

= 6700 meters

He'll travel 6700 meters to the museum.
