Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area
======================================================
Explanation:
Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.
Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.
Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.
In other words,
new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)
So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.
The greatest common factor is 2
Answer:
m<R = m<T = 80.5 deg
Step-by-step explanation:
3)
Since WXYZ is a square, <WXZ is formed with a diagonal of the square and has measure 45 deg.
m<WXZ = 8x - 19 = 45
8x - 19 = 45
8x = 64
x = 8
4)
Draw the kite. Make sure that segments QR and RS are not congruent. Fill in the given angle measures. Angles R and T are congruent opposite angles.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex, n-sided polygon is
180(n 2).
A kite is a quadrilateral, so n = 4.
180(4 - 2) = 180(2) = 360
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a kite is 360 deg.
m<Q + m<R + m<S + m<T = 360
75 + m<R + 124 + m<T = 360
m<R + m<T + 199 = 360
m<R + m<T = 161
m<R = m<T, so we substitute m<T with m<R.
m<R + m<R = 161
2m<R = 161
m<R = 80.5
m<R = m<T = 80.5 deg
