Answer:
42.5 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can split up this shape into smaller ones.
First we can start with the large rectangle on top
We know its 9 by 3.5
9x3.5=31.5
The large rectangle is 31.5, at the end we'll add them all together
Next we can work on the small triangle on the bottom left
Area= bh/2
Both the base and height are 2, 2x2=4 4/2=2, The area of that triangle is 2
Now we can work on the triangle on the bottom right. This time the base is 5
5x2=10 10/2=5, The area of that triangle is 5
Now we need to figure out the square/rectangle at the bottom. We only know one side is 2. We can figure out the top side. Since the very top of the shape is 9, we know that the bottom side of the large rectangle also has to add to 9. We know the values 2 and 5. 2+5+x=9, the missing length that's there is 2.
Now we know the small square is 2 by 2. 2x2=4 The square's area is 4
Now we add them all up.
31.5+2+5+4=42.5
Check the picture below.
keeping in mind that a cube is just a rectangular prism with all equal sides.
Answer:
2 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2) If two polygons are similar, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
side ratio: 1/4------- area ratio: 1²/4² = 1/16 = 1:16 ratio
3)If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of their perimeters is equal to the ratios of their corresponding side lengths.
The ratio of the perimeters is the same as the scale factor.
scale 1:4
The easiest way to think about this is to give all of the numbers common denominators:
1 can be written as 6/6
0 can be written as 0/6
Now we can see that 5/6 is only 1/6 away from 1, while it is 5/6 away from 0.
So, 5/6 is closer to 1!
