Answer:

A. $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of dilation is the ratio of the length of any of the corresponding sides of rectangle R'S'T'Q to rectangle PQRS.

R'S' = 3

RS = 15

Thus,

Scale factor = $\frac{R'S'}{RS} = \frac{3}{15}$

Simplify

Scale factor = $\frac{1}{5}$

That'd be : 28.8 . I hope this helps. This is it step by step.

60/x=100/48
(60/x)*x=(100/48)*x 
60=2.08333333333*x
(2.08333333333) to get x
60/2.08333333333=x 
28.8=x 
x=28.8

What is the surface area of the cylinder with height 4 mi and radius 3 mi? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The surface area of the cylinder will be "131.88".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Height of cylinder,

h = 4 m

Radius of cylinder,

r = 3 m

As we know,

The surface are of cylinder is:

⇒ $A_s=2 \pi r(h+r)$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=2\times 3.14\times 3(4+3)$

⇒ $=18.84\times 7$

⇒ $=131.88$
