Answer:
17. Scale Factor is 3:1
18. Scale Factor is 1:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale Factor: In two similar shapes, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called scale factor.
17. Give the scale factor of Figure A to Figure B
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
So, if we divide all sides of figure A by 3 we get Figure B
So, Figure A : Figure B
3:1
18. Give the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
If we multiply 3 with the sides of Figure B we can get the sides of Figure A.
So scale factor is 3.
So, Figure B : Figure A
1:3
–6x + 2y = 3/2
or, 2y= 6x + 3/2
or, y= (6x + 3/2)/2
or, y = 6x/2 + 3/4
or, y = 3x + 3/4
Therefore, –6x + 2y = 3/2 is Sandra's equation.
Answer:
11 boys walk to school each day
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>*The following will be assumed: the only genders of students in the class are male or female; the only options for getting to school are walking or not walking</em>
If there are 32 students in the class total, and there are 15 boys,
32 - 15 = 17
there are 17 girls.
If 8 of these girls do not walk to school,
17 - 8 = 9
9 girls walk to school
So, if 20 total students walk to school, and 9 of those are girls
20 - 9 = 11
11 boys walk to school each day.
