How do you determine a figure’s scale factor?

Mathematics
1 answer:

To find a scale factor between two similar figures, find two corresponding sides and write the ratio of the two sides. If you begin with the smaller figure, your scale factor will be less than one. If you begin with the larger figure, your scale factor will be greater than one.

(a) How many integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 2 or multiples of 9?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

(a)There are 500 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 2.

There are 111 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 9.

(b)0.611

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the set of Integers from 1 through 1000

The least multiple of 2 is 2 and the highest multiple of 2 in the interval is 1000.

To determine the number of terms, we use the formula for the nth term of an Arithmetic Progression, since 2,4,6,... is an Arithmetic Progression,

where first term, a =2, common difference, d =2

Nth term of an A.P,

U_n= a+(n-1)d\\1000=2+2(n-1)\\1000=2+2n-2\\1000=2n\\n=500

  • There are 500 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 2.

Similarly,

Given the set of Integers from 1 through 1000

The least multiple of 9 is 9 and the highest multiple of 9 in the interval is 999.

To determine the number of terms, we use the formula for the nth term of an Arithmetic Progression, since 9,18,27,... is an Arithmetic Progression,

where first term, a =9, common difference, d =9

Nth term of an A.P,

U_n= a+(n-1)d\\999=9+9(n-1)\\999=9+9n-9\\999=9n\\n=111

  • There are 111 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 9.

(b)Probability that an integer selected at random is a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 9.

There are a total of 1000 numbers between from 1 through 1,000

n(S)=1000

n(Multiples of 2)=500

n(Multiples of 9)=111

Therefore:

P(\text{Multiples of 9}) \:OR\: P(\text{Multiples of 2})=\frac{111}{1000} + \frac{500}{1000} \\=\frac{611}{1000} \\=0.611

An aerosol can contains gases under a pressure
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

temperature on the beach = T2 = 34.56 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

P1 = 4.5 atm

T1 = 24 °C = 24 + 273 = 297 K

P2 = 4.66 atm

Thus, P1/T1 = P2 /T2

So, T2 = P2•T1/P1

Thus, T2 = (4.66x 297)/4.5

T2 = 307.56 K

Let's convert to °C to obtain ;

T2 = 307.56 - 273

T2 = 34.56 °C

what positive number satisfies the condition that twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1?
marshall27 [118]
Solve:

"<span>twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
                                                     3(1)
Let the number be n.  Then 2n - ------- = 1
                                                       n

Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:

2n^2 - 3 = n.  Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.

We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.

Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3.  Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:

disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.

That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
                -(-1) plus or minus 5         1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
                            2(2)                                  4

x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.

You must check both answers in the original equation.  If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>

In the diagram below, the radii of the two concentric circles are 3 centimeters and 7 centimeters, respectively.
True [87]

Answer:

125.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of larger circle - area of the smaller circle

Area of the smaller circle = πr²

π = 3.14, r = 3 cm

Area of smaller circle = 3.14*3² = 3.14*9 = 28.26 cm²

Area of larger circle = πr²

π = 3.14, r = 7

Area of larger circle = 3.14*7² = 3.14*49 = 153.86 cm²

Area of the shaded region = 153.86 - 28.26 = 125.6 cm²

What percent of the data lie inside the box on a box plot?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation: A box plot demonstrates how data is concentrated. Since the middle of the box in a box plot represents the median of the data, the box encompasses half of the data points.
