17. Scale Factor is  3:1

18. Scale Factor is  1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale Factor: In two similar shapes, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called scale factor.

17. Give the scale factor of Figure A to Figure B

Figure A has sides:

Hypotenuse = 15

Perpendicular = 12

Base = 9

Figure B has sides:

Hypotenuse = 5

Perpendicular = 4

Base = 3

So, if we divide all sides of figure A by 3 we get Figure B

So, Figure A : Figure B

3:1

18. Give the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A

Figure B has sides:

Hypotenuse = 5

Perpendicular = 4

Base = 3

Figure A has sides:

Hypotenuse = 15

Perpendicular = 12

Base = 9

If we multiply 3 with the sides of Figure B we can get the sides of Figure A.

So scale factor is 3.

So, Figure B : Figure A

1:3

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

question: does she have enough ice cream for her guests?

answer: no. explanation: she only has enough for 16 people to have a full serving. however, she can give a 17th person a partial serving.

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.
