Answer:
2.75x+122.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Horse=x
Stork=x+70
Whale=3/4(x+70) = 0.75(x+70) = 0.75x+52.5
x+x=70+0.75x+52.5
2.75x+122.5
Problem 1, part (a)
<h3>Answer: False</h3>
For instance, 200 feet in real life can be reduced to scale down to say 2 inches on paper. So we have a reduction going on, and not an enlargement.
====================================================
Problem 1, part (b)
<h3>Answer: true</h3>
This is because a scale drawing involves similar polygons. This is true whenever any dilation is applied.
====================================================
Problem 2
I'm not sure how your teacher wanted you to answer this question. S/he didn't give you any numbers for the side lengths of the polygon. The angle measures are missing as well.
Answer:
square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A pie company arranges its three-flavor cheesecake sampler into equal-sized slices: S represents strawberry, C represents chocolate, and P represents plain.
Diameter of the pie = 12 inches
To find: total area of the strawberry portion in the pie
Solution:
Diameter of the pie = 12 inches
Radius of the pie (r) = Diameter / 2 =
inches
Area of the pie =
square inches
Ratio of the strawberry portion in the pie = 
Therefore,
total area of the strawberry portion in the pie =
square inches
X^2 - 4 x = -2
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 2
Write the left-hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 2
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x = 2 - sqrt(2)
