You originally draw a design for an art contest on a 3 in. x 5 in. card. The second phase of the contest requires the drawing to

be transferred to an 8.5 in x 11 in. standard sheet of paper and utilize as much of the space on the paper as possible. You determine that the largest size one of the dimensions of your drawing can be is 10.5 in. What is the length of the other dimension if the two drawings are similar? Type your exact answer in the blank without the units, and round to the nearest tenths.

The answer is 6.3

3 / 5 = x / 10.5

Since the drawings are similar, the lengths of the 2 sides are proportional.

Since the largest size is 10.5 for the new drawing, it corresponds to the large side of the former drawing, which is 5.

Similary, the corresponding side of 3 (in the former drawing) in the larger drawing is what we are seeking to find, let's call this x.

So the ratio of 10.5 is to 5 should be equal to the ratio of x is to 3. Setting up the ratio, we have:

\frac{10.5}{5}= \frac{x}{3}

Now cross multiply and solve for x, we get:

\frac{10.5}{5}= \frac{x}{3} \\3*10.5=5x\\31.5=5x\\\frac{31.5}{5} =x\\6.3=x.

So the length of the side we are looking for in the former drawing is 6.3 inches.

If the probability of an event is 0.7 repeating​, what are the odds against the​ event
ivann1987 [24]
So the probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. This means that the favorable outcomes are 7/9, and the unfavorable outcomes are 2/9. The odds against the event are the unfavorable outcomes. Therefore the odds against the event is 2/9, or 0.2 repeating. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions, and feel free to ask questions about my explanation.

Which equation is equivalent to the formula below? <br> Y = A ( X - H) ^2 + K
frozen [14]

Answer:

<em>B. a = y - k/(x-h)² </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression y = a (x-h)² + k

First make  a the subject of the formula

Subtract k from both sides

y = a (x-h)² + k

y- k = a (x-h)² + k - k

y - k = a (x-h)²

Divide through by (x-h)²

y - k/(x-h)²  = a

a = y - k/(x-h)²

Hence option B is correct

!!WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!<br><br> please provide a small explanation with it too
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(-2, 7); (See attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 12

7x + 2y = 0

x + 2y = 12

x = -2y + 12

Solve for y:

7x + 2y = 0

7 (-2y + 12) + 2y = 0

-12y + 84 = 0

-12y = -84

y = 7

Solve for x:

x = -2y + 12

x = -2 (7) + 12

x = -2

x = -2, y = 7
