2.4 ÷ 0.3 = 8
Scale factor = 8
8 = positive integer
Therefore, it is an enlargement

Answer:

Part A) The scale factor is equal to $8$

Part B) Is an enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to divide the corresponding side of the resulting triangle by the corresponding side of the first triangle

Let

z----> the scale factor

x------> the corresponding side of the resulting triangle

y-----> the corresponding side of the first triangle

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=2.4\ units$

$y=0.3\ units$

substitute

$z=\frac{2.4}{0.3}=8$

Remember that

If the scale factor is greater than one------> is an enlargement

If the scale factor is less than one------> is a reduction

In this problem

$8> 1$ -------> is an enlargement

B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.

Step 2:

The area of the 20 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (20)(8) =160,$

The area of the 10 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (10)(8) =80,$

The area of the 5 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (5)(8) =40,$

The area of the 4 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (4)(8) =32,$

The area of the 15 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (15)(8) =120.$

The area of all the walls = 432 square feet.

Since there are two sides for every wall, total area = $432(2)=864$ square feet.

Step 3:

If one paint can covers 500 square feet,

the number of cans required to paint 864 square feet = $\frac{864}{500} = 1.728$ cans.

so 2 paint cans are needed to paint 864 square feet which is option B.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.95 probability that he will hit it. One day, Samir decides to attempt to hit 10 such targets in a row.

Assuming that Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 10 targets, what is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Answer:

40.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'A' be the event of not missing a target in 10 attempts.

Therefore, the complement of event 'A' is $\overline A=\textrm{Missing a target at least once}$

Now, Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 10 targets. Therefore, probability of hitting each target each time is same and equal to 0.95.

Now, $P(A)=0.95^{10}=0.5987$

We know that the sum of probability of an event and its complement is 1.

So, $P(A)+P(\overline A)=1\\\\P(\overline A)=1-P(A)\\\\P(\overline A)=1-0.5987\\\\P(\overline A)=0.4013=40.13\%$

Therefore, the probability of missing a target at least once in 10 attempts is 40.13%.
