Answer:
The scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2
or
The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image, the right triangle on the left has the following dimensions:
Hypotenuse = 10
length of one side = 10
While the right triangle on the right has the following:
Hypotenuse = 20
Length of one side = 20
From the dimensions above it can be seen that the triangle on the right has a dimension of 2 times the triangle on the left:
Left (10) × 2 = right (20)
Therefore the scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2
or
The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2

Answer:
The area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the figure below.
The radius of the circle is, <em>r</em> = 5 cm.
The sides of the rectangle are:
<em>l</em> = 11 cm
<em>b</em> = 11 cm.
Compute the area of the shaded region as follows:
Area of the shaded region = Area of rectangle - Area of circle
Thus, the area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².
