The rectangle shown is dilated by a scale factor of 1/5

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A'B'= 3 cm and B'D' = 1.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we are told that the scale factor = 1/5

Now,we know that If the scale factor is less than 1, then the dilation is a reduction.

Thus, in this question the dilation is a reduction.

For us to calculate the dimensions of the dilated rectangle, we'll multiply the original dimensions by the scale factor

Thus;

A'B' = AB(1/5)

A'B' = 15(1/5) = 3 cm

B'D' = BD(1/5) = 8(1/5) = 1.6 cm

Thus, The length of each side of the dilated rectangle are;

A'B'= 3 cm and B'D' = 1.6 cm

The officer stepped off 20 paces from E to G. If his pace is 2 1/2 feet long. How wide was the river?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wide of river is $50\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we know that

Triangles DEG and DEF are congruent by ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence

therefore

EG=EF

$EG=20*(2\frac{1}{2})=20*\frac{5}{2}=50\ ft$

The diameter of cold virus cell is about 3x10-9 meter,and the diameter of a streptoccus bacterium cell is about 9x10-7 meter. Wh

Archy [21]

Here we need to compare the orders of magnitude of two measures.

We will see that the bacteria is 300 times larger than the virus.

We know that:

The diameter of the virus-cell is:

$D_v = 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m$

The diameter of the bacteria cell is:

$D_b = 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m$

So, to compare them, first notice that both are in the same units, meters, so we only need to compare the numbers.

Is common sense to identify the one with the largest exponent as the largest number, and the largest exponent is -7, thus the bacteria should be the larger one.

But let's prove this with math, remember the property:

$\frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n - m}$

Let's take the quotient between the diameters and see what we get, I will use the diameter of the bacteria in the numerator, thus if the quotient is larger than 1, it would mean that the bacteria is greater and by how much.

$quotient = \frac{ 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m}{ 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m} = \frac{9}{3} \cdot 10^{-7 + 9}\\\\= 3*10^2$

So we can say that the bacteria is 3*10^2 = 3*100 = 300 times larger than the virus.

The difference in the measures of two complementary angles is 12 degrees. find the measure of the angles?

8090 [49]

If two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Call one of the angles x. This means that its complement is 90 - x degrees. But the difference in their measures is 12 degrees.
