Math help

TOO HARD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 72 }{ 6 } = 12\] Scale Factor: 12

OpenStudy (zale101):

AB =EF so ABCD = EFGH.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that is the scale factor not the total.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Well,letssee the equivalence they gave you, E->F = 72 and A->B = 6. \[\frac{ 72 }{ 6 }=12\] so wouldnt our ratio, or common difference between each side be a 12x whatever angle is there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jhannybean yes! that is what i said :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So for each side of the big trapezoid, EFGH, you'd need to multiply each smaller side of ABCD by 12 to figure out the lengths of each big side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with that you can find the rest of the side lengths. then find the total

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

i know @some_someone , i'm drawing a figure to help them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okaii so: the scale factor is 12 AB = 6 6 * 12 = 72 = EF ---------------------- BC = 3 3 * 12 = 36 = FG -------------------

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@IxairaS do you understand now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you find the rest @IxairaS

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

|dw:1369513848177:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! thats the spirit :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

like @some_someone mentioned,the scale factor is 12, so you multiply each unknown side by 12 to figure them out.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

No problem. Good luck with your class

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Sure thing

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Sure is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay next one :) I think its either A or D

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

For this one, you need to understand the area of a square. Do you know how to find the area of the square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

When they mean the area of the folded paper is halved, they're saying if you take the 4 triangles that circumscribed around the square, you can combine them to get 2 more squares. to all together you would have 3 squares.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it B

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yes. How did you get B, though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found the area of the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of a square can be found by multiplying the base times itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can we do another ones

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Good job

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

For 34, The Area of a rectangle is = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=1/2*b*h

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

No, no, that's the area of a triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg sorry read wrong a=L*W*

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Ok.so if the area of a rectangle is L(w) , then what would 1/4 that area be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk :(

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

|dw:1369515269382:dw| see how there are 4 rectangles inside 1 of them? so if the area of the BIG rectangle is L(W), then by taking the area of the smaler ones, which is also L*w, we can saw the area of 1 of those rectangles is \[(\frac{ 1}{ 4 })*L*w\]
