11. Quadrilateral GHJK is similar toquadrilateral RSTU. If GH = JK = 10,
HJ = KG = 14, and RS = TU = 16, what is
the scale factor of quadrilateral GHJK to
quadrilateral RSTU?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: the scale factor is 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached photo shows Quadrilateral GHJK and Quadrilateral RSTU. Since they are similar quadrilaterals,

KG/UR = JG/TS = GH/RS = KJ/UT

10/16 = 14/TS

10TS = 16×14 = 224

TS = UR = 224/10 = 22.4

The scale factor is

16/10 = 22.4/12 = 1.6

Answers

0.035 + x = 4.036
get x on its own
x = 4.036 - 0.035 = 4.001
so 4.001 is added

Step-by-step explanation:

width of a rectangle=11 cm=11*5=55 ft

length of rectangle =8 cm= 8*5=40

Area=55*40=2220 ft²

height=3 cm=3*5=15

base=11 cm=11*5=55

Area of a triangle=base*height/2=15*55/2= ft^2

2220+412.5=2632.5 ft^2

this number is close to 2615 if the square unit on the grid =1 cm

To find the midpoint of a segment using the coordinates of its endpoints: Answers: A- Calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints. B- Calculate the differences of the x-coordinates and the differences of the y-coordinates of the endpoints. C-Calculate the differences of the x-coordinates and the differences of the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide each by 2. D-Calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide each by 2.

Answers

The answer here is A. "Calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints."

The midpoint is basically the point located between two endpoints, where the distance is equal from the midpoint to either of the points. Since this is merely a halfway point, taking the average of the coordinates would yield us the midpoint.
