<h3>Answer: Choice C) 2</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The vertical side of the blue triangle is PR = 2

The corresponding vertical side of the green triangle is P'R' = 4

The scale factor is the ratio of those two corresponding sides. So we divide the two side lengths.

scale factor = (P'R')/(PR) = (4)/(2) = 2

---------------------

We could also say:

scale factor = (R'Q')/(RQ) = (6)/(3) = 2

Or you could find the lengths of PQ and P'Q' through the distance formula, or Pythagorean theorem, and apply the same idea as shown above.

A kite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. Explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area o
mote1985 [20]

Height of the kite is = 36 inches.

Width of the kite is = 30 inches

One of the ways to find the area is to draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles. Mark the base as 36 inches and height as 15 inches .

Now we will use the formula area=\frac{1}{2}*base*height to find the area of each triangle. Then we will add both the areas to find the area of the kite.

Area of 1 triangle = \frac{1}{2}*36*15 = 270 square inches

Area of the 2nd triangle is also = 270 square inches

Hence, area of the kite = 270+270 = 540 square inches

What are a) the ratio of the perimeters and b) the ratio of the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure
vfiekz [6]
Assuming that the figures given are square such that the scale factor between them is equal to 28/8 which can be further simplified into 7/2. The ratio of the perimeter is also equal to this value, 7/2. However, the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of this value giving us an answer of 49/4.

What does the a small MAD tell you about a set of data
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Mean absolute deviation is the average of the absolute deviations from the mean. It is a measure of variability, which gives us an idea about the spread of data points from mean. Therefore, the small MAD means the data points are less deviated from mean. And the large MAD means the data points are more deviated from mean.

Hence, smaller the MAD lesser the variation in data.
