Answer:
Polygon B is similar to Polygon A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Polygon B has a <em>scale factor</em> of 2, because Polygon B looks identical to A, except the measurements are twice as large.

Let the number be (10 x + y)
Then, 10 x + y = 3 * (x + y) (given)
Or, 10 x + y = 3 x + 3 y
Or, 10 x - 3 x = 3 y - y
Or, 7x = 2 y
Or, x = 2 y / 7 ( Eq. 1)
Also, 10 x + y + 45 = 10 y + x ( given)
Or, 10 x - x = 10 y - y - 45
Or, 9 x = 9 y - 45 ( Eq. 2)
Substituting the value of x from (Eq. 1) in (Eq. 2), we have:
9 * 2 y / 7 = 9 y - 45
Or, (9 y ) - (18 y / 7) = 45
Or, 63 y - 18 y = 315
Or, 45 y = 315
Or, y = 7
From (Eq. 1),
x = 2 * 7 / 7 = 2
So, the number is 10 x + y = (10 * 2) + 7 = (20 + 7) = 27
Answer
Check:
Sum of the digits = 2 + 7 = 9
9 * 3 = 27 ✓
Adding 45 to the number 27, we get 72. So, the digits get reversed.
The total to this would be $1,389.93 because $1,299 + 7% = $1,389.93
A property from geometry states that rectangles have congruent opposite sides. Thus, no matter which diagonal Reggie cuts, it still has the same lengths. Since it's a rectangle and we cut from corner to corner, we create a right triangle. See the picture below:
<u>___________12 inches_______</u>
7 |
i |
n |
Because it's a rectangle, it won't matter which corner we cut. But if we fold at the cut lines, we would make an in the rectangle's center.
The cut line and two sides make a right triangle. One leg is 12, one leg is 7, and we need to find the third side. The Pythagorean Theorem - sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse - is applied.
Let S = the length of the side from corner to corner
S² = 12² + 7²
S² = 144 + 49
S² = 193
S = √193 or -√193
Because we are dealing with lengths, we only want positive numbers. -√193 is not used. Thus S = √193
S = √193 = 13.8924439894
S = 18.92 (rounded to two places)
Thus, Reggie will cut 18.92 inches of paper.
