Elias’s teacher has given him a rectangle that is 15 feet by 20 feet. She has asked him to create a new rectangle using a scale

factor of 8/3. Elias says that will be a reduction because the scale factor is a fraction. Is he correct?

Answer:

Elias is not correct, A scale factor of 8/3 is an enlargement because it is greater than 1.

A reduction has a scale factor between

0 and 1.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because for every 8 feet of the original rectangles, it will be 3 feet on the scale model, therefore it is reducing.

I have no idea how to do this. Its substitution.
barxatty [35]
Since y = x+5, we can substitute y for x+5, making the new equation
3x + x+5 =25. Now, you can solve traditionally. 4x = 20, x = 5, y = 10

What is the volume of a square pyramid if the length of an edge of the base is 7 and the altitude
igomit [66]

We have been given that the length of an edge of a square pyramid is 7 and altitude of the pyramid is 12. We are asked to find the volume of the pyramid.

We will use volume of pyramid formula to solve our given problem.

V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot b\cdot h, where,

b = Area of base of pyramid,

h = Height of pyramid.

We know that area of a square is square of its side length, so area of the base of pyramid would be 7^2=49.

The height of the pyramid will be equal to altitude.

V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot 49\cdot 12

V=49\cdot 4

V=196

Therefore, the volume of the given pyramid would be 196 cubic units and 3rd option is the correct choice.
