Rectangle m was dilated to form rectangle m’. what ratio is the scale factor? a. 1/2 b. 2/3 c. 4/3 d. 3/2

Hey!

The length of the small rectangle is 4. The length of the big rectangle is 6.

Since the smaller rectangle was dilated to make a bigger rectangle, the scale factor will be more than 1. To find the scale factor, you have to divide the length of a side of the original rectangle by the length of a side of the new rectangle.

Simplify:

The scale factor is and the choice that matches it is choice D.

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
