When Garrett realized that all squares were similar to each other, he got very excited. "That means," he proclaimed, "they all have the same area and perimeter too!" What do you think? Is Garrett correct? Explain completely

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Garrett is wrong because Similar figures means the figures have the same angles but different side measurements.

Other properties of similar figures are:

So, in Garrett's problem, the squares might be similar but they do not have the same area nor perimeter.

They are all proportional to each other, i.e., one might be 2x bigger than the other; or 3x smaller, have an area of 1/4 compared to another, etc.

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
