Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have a rectangle that is 2 by 2 and you dilate it by 2, the sides are now 4 x 4. So:
If you dilate it by a factor of 2, the area is 2^2 (4) times as great
A factor of 3 would have an area of 9 times as much.
Conclusion: square the scale factor to get how much greater the area would be.
The answer is B, 3/4 is greater than 3/5
3/4=0.75
3/5=0.6
0.75 is greater than 0.6
To solve a problem like this, we can setup a basic algebraic equation.
52+14=x
66=x
We know this equation is true because 14 years ago, she was 52 so 14 years later, she is 66.
