Jada will draw two scale drawings of the same object on 1-cm grid paper. Each centimetre will represent a greater distance in the second drawing than in the first. Jada claims that the lengths in the second drawing will be longer than the lengths in the first drawing. Do you agree? Give an example of a scale and a measurement to support your answer.

Jada is wrong. For example, say Jada is drawing scaled versions of a 10x10 yard square. In her first drawing, 1 centimeter = 1 yard, so the drawn square is 10x10 centimeters. In her second drawing, 1 centimeter = 2 yards, which is greater, like the problem says. This drawing will be only 5x5 centimeters, meaning the lengths will be smaller as each centimeter represents a greater number of yards.

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
