Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).

If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.

18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.

You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.

14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7

(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)

Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF. Side AB measures 12
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

1. The scale factor here is 1.5

2. The scale factor here is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we shall be dealing with scales of triangles.

we have two triangles;

ABC and DEF

longest sides are in the ratio;

12 : 8

1. What scale factor translates DEF to ABC?

The ratio of the length can be beaten down to 3:2

So therefore, we can see that by multiplying the sides of of DEF by 1.5, we can arrive at the sides of ABC

So the scale factor here is 1.5

2. This is like the other way round of what we have above.

By multiplying the sides of ABC by 2/3, we shall have the sides of DEF

6. Find an exact value. (1 point)
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>6 Find an exact value. 
sin 75°
</span>sin(A+B)=sin(A)cos(B)+cos(A)sin<span>(B)
</span>sin(45)=cos(45)=(2^0.5)/2    sin(30)=0.5      cos(30)=(3^0.5)/2
sin(45+30)=sin(45)cos(30)+cos(45)sin(30)=(6^0.5+2^0.5)/4
the answer is the letter d) quantity square root of six plus square root of two divided by four.

<span>7. Find an exact value. 
sine of negative eleven pi divided by twelve.

</span>sin(-11pi/12) = -sin(11pi/12) = -sin(pi - pi/12) = -sin(pi/12) = -sin( (pi/6) / 2)

= - sqrt( (1-cos(pi/6) ) / 2) = -sqrt( (1-√3/2) / 2 ) = -(√3-1) / 2√2=(√2-√6)/4
the answer is the letter c) quantity square root of two minus square root of six divided by four.

<span>8. Write the expression as the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle. 
sin 9x cos x - cos 9x sin x
</span>

sin(A−B)=sinAcosB−cosAsinB

sin(9x−x)= sin9xcosx−cos9xsinx= sin(8x)

the answer is the letter c) sin 8x

<span>9. Write the expression as the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle. 
cos 112° cos 45° + sin 112° sin 45°

</span>

cos(A−B)=cosAcosB<span>+sinA</span>sinB

cos(112−45)=cos112cos45<span>+sin112</span>sin45=cos(67)

the answer is the letter d) cos 67°

10. Rewrite with only sin x and cos x.

sin 2x - cos 2x

 

sin2x = 2sinxcosx<span>
cos2x = (cosx)^2 - (sinx)^2 = 2(cosx)^2 -1 = 1- 2(sinx)^2</span>

sin2x- cos2x=2sinxcosx-(1- 2(sinx)^2=2sinxcosx-1+2(sinx)^2

sin2x- cos2x=2sinxcosx-1+2(sinx)^2

<span>the answer is the letter <span>b) 2 sin x cos2x - 1 + 2 sin2x</span></span>
