No, in 2x+7=27, x=10. In 3x+1=28 x =9, so it doesn't.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, first off I'm assuming that by "scar factor" you mean scale factor. So if the two squares are similar then that means the sides are also similar, that means that they are equivalent. So all you have to do is 12/4 to get 3. So then to check it, you do 4 times 3 which gets you to 12.
So the final answer is 3
Draw or sketch out any problems like this, otherwise they appear abstract.
A circle’s area can be calculated by (pi d^2)/4 We have an area of 56 cm (^2?), so
pi d^2 = 56 x 4 (or 224) d^2 = 224/pi, d = √(224/pi)
A circle circumscribed around a square has a diameter equivalent to the length of the square’s diagonal, so the square’s diagonal is √(224/pi) (same as the circle diameter…)
A square’s side can be calculated, knowing its diagonal length, by use of Pythagoras’ theorem… The diagonal √(224/pi) is squared, divided by two, since the square’s sides are all equal, and the resulting number’s square root is calculated.
Squaring √(224/pi), we get 224/pi, and dividing by two, we get 112/pi, which is 35.6507 (cm^2), and the square root is 5.9708 cm, the side of the square.
I cannot emphasize enough that a drawing or sketch is an invaluable tool for these tasks, it saves having to retain a “picture” in your head. Note that a calculator was not required up until the last moment, dividing 112 by pi, and finding the square root of that answer. Picking up the calculator too early obliges you to transcribe numbers from the calculator to paper, and that can lead to issues. Try to enjoy maths, see it as a challenge not a chore. (and use correct units!)

The third choice is the one you want
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:
2x + y = -5 so
y = -2x - 5
The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:
Getting rid of the double negatives gives us:
Distributing then gives us:
And finally solving for y (I am going to express the 2 on the left as 4/2 when I move it by subtraction in order to add those fractions):
And the final equation in slope-intercept form is:
