Question

You originally draw a design for an art contest on a 2 in. x 5 in. card. The second phase of the contest requires the drawing to be transferred to an 8.5 in x 11 in. standard sheet of paper and utilize as much of the space on the paper as possible. You determine that the largest size one of the dimensions of your drawing can be is 10.5 in. What is the length of the other dimension if the two drawings are similar? Type your exact answer in the blank without the units, and round to the nearest tenths.

Answer 1

@bibby Can you walk me through this?

Answer 2

Okay.

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 } = \frac{ x }{ 10.5 }\]

Answer 3

Also are you sure your question is right

Okay thanks guys, I believe it is 4.2 too!! Bibby do you think you could help me with 1-2 more?

Answer 12

sure

Answer 13

Thanks

Answer 14

The polygons below are similar. Find the value of z.

Polygons ABCD and EFGH are shown. AB equals 6. BC equals 8. CD equals 10. AD equals x. EF equals y. FG equals 6. GH equals z. HE equals 12.

4.5
7.5
12
16

Answer 15

So i'd set it up like

8 x
- -
6 12

Answer 16

Then cross multiply right?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

96 6x

Answer 19

Do I divide 96 by 6?

Answer 20

That's 16 which is one of the answers, am I right?

Answer 21

you're right

Answer 22

Okay sweet, real quick I need to re-check if this is right, it might be a trick question since the answer seems quite obvious.

Answer 23

Parallelogram ABCD is dilated to form parallelogram EFGH. Which corresponding angle is congruent to angle A? Type your answer in the box below as a single letter to represent the angle. For example, if the answer is angle X, simply type X in the blank.

Answer 24

I chose E but it seems a little too obvious to be right.

Answer 25

Is it right though?

Answer 26

Corresponding angle kind of throws me off but i'm thinking it's still E.

Answer 27

yes

Answer 28

Okay thanks for the verification :))
