Step-by-step explanation:
If the side length x is dilated to 2x, the area x² will dilate to (2x)² = 4x², which is 4 times the original x².
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) Δ ADE ~ Δ ABC, then
⇒ 

Garden one and two are both unknown, so I am choosing to call garden 2 X and then label garden 1 with comparisons to X.
It is tempting to list:
Garden Two = X
Garden One = X + 9
BUT there is an easier way. We are told that when 3 bushes are taken from garden 2 (x-3) and put in garden 1 (x + 12) then garden one has 1.5 times more than garden two.
Set it up like this:
1.5 ( x - 3) = x + 12 (because 1.5 times garden 2 will give us garden 1)
1.5x - 4.5 = x + 12 (Distribute)
.5x = 16.5 (Use subtraction to move variables to the right and other numb left)
x = 33 for Garden 2
33 + 9 for Garden 1 = 42
Answer:
The African elephant weighs <u>111.5 tons</u> less than a blue whale.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Animal Weight(pounds)
African Elephant 15,000
Blue Whale 238,000
Now, to find the weight of how more tons does a blue whale weigh than an African elephant.
As given, 1 ton = 2,000 pounds.
So, to convert the weight from pound to tons by dividing:
African elephant 
Blue whale 
Now, to get the weight of how more tons is blue whale weigh than an African elephant we subtract:



Therefore, the African elephant weighs 111.5 tons less than a blue whale.
