Ivan wrote the ratio incorrectly. The ratio should be written as the old length to the new length, so it should be 35/10, which reduces to 7/2. When going from larger to smaller dimensions, the change in the scale factor is a ratio that looks like an improper fraction, with a larger number in the numerator and a smaller number in the denominator.

Scale factor is:
factor = (new length) / (old length)
Ivan correctly inserted numbers and correctly divided these two numbers by 5.

There is no error in the shown picture.

On his math test, Balavan wrote that a four-sided polygon that has at least two right angles must be a rectangle or a square. De

gregori [183]

A quadrilateral with only 2 right angles could be a trapezoid so Balavan is wrong. Denna is right because if 3 angles are right angles the the fourth angle must also be a right angle and has to be a square or rectangle.

Sally has completed 1/3 of her shift; Jerry has completed 5/6 of his shift; David has finished 1/2 of his shift; Mona has 7/8 of

Step2247 [10]

Sally = 1/3
Jerry = 5/6
David = 1/2
Mona = 1 - 7/8 = 1/8

So, the biggest fraction among them is 5/6.

Jerry has completed the most work time.

Point F is on circle C.

Hoochie [10]

CF is a radius = 7.5 units

To find GC we will use the Pythagorean theorem.GC² = 10² + 7.5²

GC² = 100 + 56.25GC² = 156.25GC = √ 156.25GC = 12.5

GF = 12.5 + 7.5 = 20

Answer: 20 units

The function d=0.006s squared represents the braking distances d in meters of a car at a speed s in kilometer per second.Graph t

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Part 1) The graph in the attached figure

Part 2) The value of s is approximately 45 km/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

The function d=0.006s² represents the braking distances d in meters of a car at a speed s in kilometer per second.Graph the function. Then use your graph to estimate the speed of the car if its braking distance is 12 meters

Part 1) Graph the function

Let

s ----> the speed in kilometers per second

d ----> the braking distances in meters

we have

$d=0.006s^2$
