Before we solve, let's define what a scale factor is. A scale factor is a certain number that can be multiplied or divided by to get a smaller or bigger image that's similar to the current image.
We have 48 by 36 as our original.
It has been reduced to an 8 by 6.
This means we must divide.
Before we get into any complicated ideas, if any, let's try a simple trick.
Divide 48 by 8 and 36 by 6. This should give us a scale factor if they give us the same quotients.
48 / 8 = 6
36 / 6 = 6
It turns out our scale factor is 1/6 (the same as dividing by 6).
The answer cannot be 1/8 because 36 / 8 doesn't give us 8 as a quotient.
The answer also cannot be 6 because we'd have to mutliply our current sides by 6 to get the new image, which it was the opposite.
By elimination and work shown, A.) 1/6 is the correct answer.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
1275
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 of 1000 is 250
%2 of 1250 is 25
1275
12b is the answer to the question
To get perimeter you add all the sides together. You have 2 sides of 10ft, one side of 8ft and then the half circle. To find the arc length of the half circle you would do 1/2(2πr) which would give you πr. R=4ft since the diameter is 8ft. So you would add 8,10,10 and 4pi. If it wants an exact answer it would be 28+4pi. If it wants an approximate answer it would be 40.6ft
