Answer:

13 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x = 78

(because u want a piece (x) and a piece that's five times longer than x- so 5x. and they should come from a 78 inch piece)

6x = 78

x = 78 / 6

x= 13

(to counter check:  13 * 5 = 65.  

                               65 + 13 = 78  )

One piece is 13, the bigger piece is 65!

we know this because if one piece is 13, the piece 5 times bigger is (65), and 65+ 13 is 78.

Ratling [72]
The answer is option B.  11/12 = (13 3/4) /15

it could be considered a true proportion if both are equal in values.

In order to find this, you need to cross multiply the numerator and the denominator in all of those options and find which give the exact result.

11 x 15  = 13 3/4  x 12

First graph it

#1

Maximum height is the y coordinate of vertex

  • (2,144)

Max height

  • 144m

#2

Time is the x coordinate of vertex

  • 2s

#3

  • y is 0

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -16t^2+64t+80=0

x intercepts are the solutions

  • (-1,0)U(5,0)

Take it positive

  • t=5s

#4

put in function

  • y=-16(1)+64+80=-16+144=128ft

1. The shape shown below is dilated by a scale factor of 2.6. It is in the attachment that was included.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

L' = 26cm

W' = 39cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given the dimension of the shape;

length L = 10cm

Width W = 15cm

After dilating by a scale factor os 2.6

New length L' = 2.6(10) = 26cm

New width = W' = 2.6(15) = 39cm

Hence the length of each sides of the dilated image are 26cm and 39cm

b) The new image will be similar to the given image but of with the resulting length gotten in (a).
