Clara says that if you square the number 4 and then divide the result by 2, you end up with 4. Is Clara correct? Explain. Please help.

She is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

If you square 4 you get 16 and divide 16 and 2 you get 8 so shes wrong.

Clara is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 4 is 2

2 ÷ 2 = 1

You end up with 1 not 4, therefore, Clara is wrong.

Edit: Look at the other answer, I sadly made a mistake thinking the question said square root but it said square I apologize .

answer: .75 km

step-by-step explanation:

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
