Answer:

The lengths of the sides of the playground are 14 feet, 6 feet, 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, let us find the perimeter of the playground

∵ Perimeter of a triangle is P = S1 + S2 + S3

∵ The sides of the triangular playground are (2x) ft, (x - 1) ft, and x ft

∴ S1 = 2x, S2 = x - 1, S3 = x

→ Substitute them in the rule of the perimeter above

∵ P = 2x + x - 1 + x

→ Add the like terms

∴ P = (2x + x + x) - 1

∴ P = 4x - 1

∵ The perimeter of this playground is 27 feet

∴ P = 27

→ Equate the two values of P

∴ 4x - 1 = 27

→ Add 1 to both sides

∴ 4x - 1 + 1 = 27 + 1

∴ 4x = 28

→ Divide both sides by 4

∵ \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{28}{4}

∴ x = 7

→ Substitute the value of x in each side to find their lengths

∵ S1 = 2(7)

∴ S1 = 14 feet

∵ S2 = 7 - 1

∴ S2 = 6 feet

∵ S3 = 7 feet

∴ The lengths of the sides of the playground are 14 feet, 6 feet, 7 feet

The outlier in the given data set and the reason we know it is an outlier are;

<u><em>The outlier is 9.8</em></u>

<em><u>It is an outlier because it is the distance that is less than 10.</u></em>

  • Outliers in mathematics are simply values that lie outside of the other values in a set of data. This means they are far larger than the given set of values or far smaller than the given set of values.

  • Now, in this question, we see that the distances given in meters are;

10.1 m, 10.1 m, 10.2 m, 10.2 m, 10.3 m, 10.1 m, 10.2 m, 9.8 m

  • From these set of data values, we can see that all but 1 of the values are more than 10. This number that is less than 10 is the odd one out of these set of data values and therefore it is the outlier.

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle FGH = x

Angle FGJ = 25

Angle JGH = 40

Angle FGH = Angle FGJ + Angle JGH

                x = 25 + 40

                x = 65

zysi [14]

Answer:

The scale factor is

\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segmentAB has vertices A(−3, 4) and B(1, −2) .

A dilation, centered at the origin, is applied to AB. The image has vertices

A'(-1,4/3) and B′(1/3, −2/3) .

We know the rule for dilation by scale factor of k, is

(x,y)\to(kx,ky)

This means that;

A(-3,4)\to A'(-3k,4k)

But we know, A' has coordinates (-1,4/3)

This means that

- 3k =  - 1

k =  \frac{1}{3}

We could also compare:

4k=4/3

Which gives

k=⅓
