Answer:
The scale factor is equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z-----> the scale factor
x-----> the area of the image
y----> the area of the original garden
so
we have
substitute and solve for z
------> scale factor

Parallel lines have the same slope, which in this case is m = 1.
Use the slope-intercept formula here: y = mx + b
becomes 2 = (1)(-6) + b. Then b = 8, and
y = x + 8 (answer)
X=10, the two triangles are alike except one is double the size of the other. hope this helps
You could have ANY rule you want. Just substitute for and for but MAKE SURE THAT ONCE YOU SIMPLIFY IT, IT IS TRUE. Lets start making some equations!
How about:
If we substitute into it, we find it works.
How about:
By the way, if you substitute y and x into the equation above, you will find they also work.
Thank you, and I hope this helped.
