If the area of polygon p is 72 square units, what is the scaled factor did deigo use to go from p to q?

The scale factor used to go from P to Q is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas i equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x -----> area of polygon Q

y -----> area of polygon P

we have

Find the area of polygon Q

Divide the the area of polygon Q in two triangles and three squares

The area of the polygon Q is equal to the area of two triangles plus the area of three squares

see the attached figure N 2

Find the area of triangle 1

Find the area of three squares (A2,A3 and A4)

Find the area of triangle 5

The area of polygon Q is

Find the scale factor

we have

substitute and solve for z

square root both sides

therefore

The scale factor used to go from P to Q is 1/4

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!

use formula for the circle a=3.14
