<h3>17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let x = number of heavy equipment operators employed

Then,

31 - x = number of laborers employed

From given,

Pay of heavy equipment operators = $ 138 per day

Pay of general labours = $ 93 per day

Payroll was $3648

Therefore,

number of heavy equipment operators x Pay of heavy equipment operators + number of laborers employed x Pay of general labours = 3648

138x + 93(31 - x) = 3648

138x + 2883 - 93x = 3648

45x = 3648 - 2883

45x = 765

x = 17

Thus,

31 - x = 31 - 17 = 14

Therefore, 17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed

Circle A has center of (2, 8), and a radius of 2 and circle B has a center of (5, 4), and a radius of 10. What steps will help s
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

D.Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

The center of circle A is (2,8) and radius of circle A is 2.

The center of circle B is (5,4) and radius of circle B is 10.

We have to find the steps will help to show that circle A is similar to circle B.

When two circles are similar it means the size of circles can be same or different.Therefore, radius of circles will be same or  different.

But, the radius of circles are different.

Dilation: It is a transformation in which obtained figure is similar to the original figure.

Shape remains same but the size of figures are different.

Ratio of corresponding sides of  two figures=Scale factor

When a circle is dilated then,

Ratio of  radius of circle obtained after dilation to the radius of original circle= Scale factor

Scale factor=\frac{10}{2}=5

Hence, option D is true.
