Basil was shown this enlargement, and he was asked to find the perimeter of the enlarged shape. His work is shown below. A shape has side lengths 2, 2, 6, 4, 6. A larger shape has corresponding sides, A, A, 24, B, 24. Figures not drawn to scale. Basil’s Work Scale factor StartFraction 24 over 6 EndFraction = 4 Side A 4 times 2 = 8 Side B 4 times 4 = 16 Perimeter 24 + 16 + 8 + 8 = 56 Where, if any, did Basil first make a mistake in his work? Basil made a mistake finding the scale factor. Basil made a mistake when finding the length of either side A or side B. Basil made a mistake finding the perimeter. Basil did not make any mistakes in his work.

Instead of being thirteen republics, under a federal head, [the federalists’ plan] is clearly designed to make us one [unified] government. . whether such a change can ever be [made] in any manner; whether it can be [made] without convulsions and civil wars; whether such a change will not totally destroy the liberties of this country—time only can determine. –the federal farmer what best summarizes the point of view the excerpt expresses? in time, one unified government will run the country. the federalists prefer thirteen republics to one unified government. one unified government probably will not lead to disruptions and civil wars. under one unified government, people will be robbed of their freedoms.
