Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Cell theory states that living things are composed of one or more cells, that the cell is the basic unit of life, and that cells arise from existing cells.

Key Points

• The cell theory describes the basic properties of all cells.

• The three scientists that contributed to the development of cell theory are Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow.

• A component of the cell theory is that all living things are composed of one or more cells.

• A component of the cell theory is that the cell is the basic unit of life.

• A component of the cell theory is that all new cells arise from existing cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

To find the scale factor, we simply create a ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides of two polygons. If the ratio is the same for all corresponding sides, then this is called the scale factor and the polygons are similar.

order for two trapezoids to be similar their corresponding sides must have the same ratio. Since the largest base length in the image is and the corresponding side is , the other base must also be times greater than the corresponding side shown in the image.
