Answer:
0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. This means that if a rectangle has sides 3 by 4 its area will be 12. But its image after being dilated by 2 is 6 by 8 or twice the side. Will the area also be twice the size? The area of the image is 6*8 = 48. This is 4 times bigger than 12. Not twice as big. So the similarity of the area is the scale factor squared.
So if figure A has area 13 units. And they have a ratio or scale factor of 1/8 then the area sclae factor will be 1/8*1/8 = 1/64.
So 13*1/64 will be the area of figure B.
13* 1/64 = 13/64 = 0.2

Answer:
You add the numerators so 5 + 5 is 10. So its 10/9. We only added the numerators because the denominators were the same. So then 10/9 simplified by minusing 9 from ten because ten is the denominator the answer is:
1 1/9

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
Your interest formula is given to you.
<span>Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring) </span>
<span>Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100 </span>
<span>How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise, prices are going up faster than you're saving. </span>
<span>Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782 </span>
<span>How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest. </span>
<span>Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power. </span>
