What is the rule for finding the ratio of the areas of two objects if you know the scale?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The square of the scale

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaling

Suppose we know the scale of the distances, for example, r=5. It means that for each centimeter in the drawing, it corresponds to 5 cm in the real object being scaled. If we wanted to find the ratio of the areas, we would need to scale both dimensions and the ratio would be the square of the scale factor. In our example, the ratio of the areas would be 25, i.e. each square centimeter would correspond to 25 square centimeters

The rule for finding the ratio of the areas of two objects: The square of the scale

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph? Is it a maximum or minimum?

Answers

Answer:

Vertex ( 0,1) and it is maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : graph of parabola .

To find : What are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph? Is it a maximum or minimum.

Solution : We have given the graph of parabola

Vertex : the highest point ; the top.

Vertex : ( 0 , 1) because it cut at y ,

When the parabola opens down, the vertex is the highest point on the graph is called the maximum, or max.

Therefore, Vertex ( 0,1) and it is maximum.

It should be the second answer of 0,1 maximum

Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function? A = {(3, −5), (4, 6), (−3, 9), (2, 7)}
B = {(2, 4), (−1, −7), (5, 6), (4, 3)}


Only A

Only B

Both A and B

Neither A nor B

Answers

Answer:

Both A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

A = {(3, −5), (4, 6), (−3, 9), (2, 7)}  

-Each x goes to a different y so this is a function

B = {(2, 4), (−1, −7), (5, 6), (4, 3)}

-Each x goes to a different y so this is a function

Both!!

If you look at it, none of the x values are repeating with a differnt outcome, so you know that they both are correct.

Herta wants to build a picket fence in her front yard. Her design has fence posts that are 8.5 feet apart, with 19 pickets between each set of posts. If the pickets are 3 inches wide, how wide should the gaps be so that everything is evenly spaced?

Answers

8.5 Feet  = 102 inches

Pickets = 19 x 3  = 57 inches

Remaining = 102 inches - 57 inches = 45

If you put 19 pickets, there will be 20 gaps

So each will be 45 / 20 = 2.25 inches wide

hope this helps


Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara in 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralphi's age now

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Let x represents Sara's age, since Ralph is 3 times as old, the Ralph's age will be 3x.

In 4 years time, Sara will be  x+ 4 , Ralph will also be 3x + 4

It was said that Ralph will be as twice as Sara's age in 4 years

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2 ( x+4)

⇒  3x + 4 = 2x + 8

collecting the like terms

3x - 2x = 8 - 4

        x = 4

Since x represents Sara's age, then Sara is 4 years and since Ralph is presently 3 times Sara's age, then Ralph's age is 3 x 4 = 12 years
