Mark and sofia walk together down a long, straight road. they walk without stopping for 4 miles. at this point sofia says their displacement during the trip must have been 4 miles; mark says their current position must be 4 miles. who, if either, is correct? explain.

Sofia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark's statement depends on the starting point. He can be correct if they started at the 0 mile, but in this case we don't know where they started. They could had started at the 12 mile and their current position after the walking would be 16 miles.

On the other hand, Sofia's statement doesn't depend on where they started. She refers to how much they walked, not to where they are after the walking. Since they stopped after 4 non-stopping miles, their displacement was exactly 4 miles. So Sofia is correct.

answer: what do you mean

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
