Answer:

The option that describe the effect of the change is;

The perimeter is multiplied by 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters from the question are;

The (scale) factor by which the base and the height of the triangle are multiplied = 5/4

By the constant proportion of their sides, the triangle before and the triangle obtained after the multiplication are similar

Let 'a' and 'b' represent the length of the base and the height of the triangle respectively, we have;

The area of the triangle, A₁ = 1/2 × a × b = a·b/2

With the application of the scale factor of 5/4, we have;

The area of the scaled triangle, A₂ = 1/2 × (5/4) × a × (5/4) × b = (5/4)² × a·b/2

Therefore, the scale factor of the area = (5/4)²

The scale factor of the perimeter = √(The scale facto of area)

∴ The scale factor of the perimeter = √(5/4)² = (5/4)

The scale factor of the perimeter = (5/4)

Therefore, the perimeter of the scaled triangle is obtained by multiplying the perimeter of the initial triangle by (5/4).

What is the area of the square? Help me pls

Allushta [10]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out the circumference of the circle.

We know that the circle has a radius of 1, and that we are finding the circumference. We'll use the circumference equation of a circle.

2 $\pi$ r

Plug in 1 for r.

$2\pi (1)$ = $2\pi$ = circumference of circle

Now, multiply the answer (the circumference) by 4 to get the perimeter of the square.

$2\pi$ x 4 = $8\pi$ = perimeter of square

Now, divide the perimeter by 4 to get what the side of the square is.

$8\pi$ ÷ 4 = $2\pi$

Now, multiply $2\pi$ by $2\pi$ (side times side) to get the area.

$2\pi$ x $2\pi$ = $4\pi$

The answer is A. $4\pi$

Courtney works at the local shoe store and receives $150 a week plus 3% of all sales over $1000. This week her sales were $3200.

schepotkina [342]

The equation you would use to find her earning for the week would be:

y=0.03(x-1000)+150

This would mean she made $66 from commissions and $216 total.

$\huge\boxed{a=-21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-7=\dfrac{1}{3}a\to\dfrac{1}{3}a=-7\qquad|\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot\dfrac{1}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}a=(-7)(3)\\\\a=-21$
