If a skydiver falls 144 feet in 3 seconds in you need to find the time per second that they’re falling, you would simply have to get the time per one second. You have to get the 3 to one, so you would divide by 3 on both sides, getting 48 feet per second. (assuming they fell at the same rate all 3 seconds)
It’s not scaled. You can see it’s not the same shape as image A. 1 is only added to the height. If a shape is scaled, then the shape will remain the same, however it’s size will not. Therefore, the answer is “not a scaled copy of image A because 1 is added to the height”
