Question Raymond is filling his kitchen sink to wash dishes. After one minute, there are 2.75 gallons of water in the sink. After two minutes, there are 5.5 gallons
are 8.25 gallons of water in the sink. If this pattern continues, how many gallons of water will be in the sink after five minutes?
water in the sink. After three minutes, there
СА
2.75
8
11
C
13.75
16.5

i believe the correct answer is b.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

answer: 72: 111
