Sid was given the following enlargement of a rectangle. A smaller rectangle with length of 8 feet and width of 4 feet. A larger rectangle with length of blank and width of 20 feet.

Sid calculated the scale factor to be One-fifth. What error, if any, did Sid make when he calculated the scale factor?

the answer is -6

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is -6 because its next to the variable m

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6

we need to see the graph to know but

strong positive is if it is going up from left to right in a straight diagonal line (like this /)

strong negative is the same but from right to left (like this \)

weak negative is the same as strong negative but its more straight line still right to left

and weak positive is the same as strong positive but more a straight line still left to right though.
