Answer: Scale factor = Dimension of the new shape ÷ Dimension of the original shape.
Step-by-step explanation:
The little lines in each side show that the sides are the same length but you also need to find the length of the smaller side which isn’t the same. For this imagine that the shape is split into a square and a triangle and you need to find the long side of the triangle using Pythagoras
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 + 20^2 = 800
Square root of 800 = 28.3
Then do 28.3-20=8.3
So I think the answer is 20+20+20+20+20+8.3=108.3 cm
Answer:
9 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy: first cancel the fraction part of the mixed number, then subtract the remaining fraction from the integer obtained.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = 10 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/4
= 10 -1/4
= 9 3/4
__
Strategy: turn the subtracted fraction into a whole number by adding 1/4 to both parts of the problem, then subtract the whole number.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = (10 1/2 +1/4) -(3/4 +1/4)
= 10 3/4 -1
= 9 3/4
_____
We assume that you know that 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4, or 3/4 -1/2 = 1/4. If you need to, you can get there by using the equivalent: 1/2 = 2/4.
