The original object is called pre-image, and its dilated version is called image. The height of the image for the considered case is 17.4 m

<h3>How does dilation affect length, area, and volume of an object?</h3>

Suppose a figure (pre image) is dilated (dilated image) by scale factor of k.

So, if a side of the figure is of length L units, and that of its similar figure is of M units, then:

<u><em>L = k × M</em></u>

where 'k' will be called as scale factor.

The linear things grow linearly like length, height etc.

The quantities which are squares or multiple of linear things twice grow by square of scale factor. Thus, we need to multiply or divide by <u><em>k²</em></u><em> </em>to get each other corresponding quantity from their similar figures' quantities.

<u><em>So </em></u><u><em>area </em></u><u><em>of </em></u><u><em>first figure </em></u><u><em>= k² × area of second figure</em></u>

Similarly,

<u><em>Volume </em></u><u><em>of first figure = k³ × volume of second figure.</em></u>

It is because we will need to multiply 3 linear quantities to get volume, which results in k getting multiplied 3 times, thus, cubed.

For this case, we're given that;

  • Surface area of pre-image = 35 m²
  • Surface area of dilated image = 315 m²
  • Height of pre-image = 5.8 m
  • Height of dilated image.

Let the scale fator of dilation be k.

Then:

<u><em>So area of pre-image = k² × area of dilated image</em></u>

Thus, we get:

35 = k^2 \times 315\\\\k = \sqrt{\dfrac{35}{315}} = 1/3

(took positive root as scaling is done by non-negative factors as only magnitude matters mostly)

Thus, we get:

Height of pre-image = (1/3) × Height of dilated image (say h)

5.8 = (1/3) \times h\\h = 3 \times 5.8 = 17.4 \rm \: m

Thus, the original object is called pre-image, and its dilated version is called image. The height of the image for the considered case is 17.4 m

Jerry irks at the skate board shop he is paid at the end of the week. He earns 245.00$ a week plus a 15% commission on each boar
blagie [28]

Answer:

$462.7

Step-by-step explanation:

15% commission on $54

= $8.1

he sell 27 boards so

8.1 × 27=$218.7

so

$245.00+$218.7=$463.7

At what values of x does f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 -4x+1 satisfy the mean value theorwm on [0,1]
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f is given as

f(x) = x^3-2x^2-4x+1 in the interval  [0,1]

This function f being an algebraic polynomial is continuous in the interval [0,1] and also f is differntiable in the open interval (0,1)

Hence mean value theorem applies for f in the given interval

f(1) = 1-2-4+1 = -4\\f(0) = 1

The value

\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0} =\frac{-4-1}{1} =-5

Find derivative for f

f'(x) = 3x^2-4x-4

Equate this to -5 to check mean value theorem

3x^2-4x-4=-5\\3x^2-4x+1=0\\\\(x-1)(3x-1) =0\\x= 1/3 : x = 1

We find that 1/3 lies inside the interval (0,1)

1. 3,742 x 6= help with step by step
xenn [34]

Answer: The answer is 22,452

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply 6×2 which will be 12

Put the 1 from the 12 on top of the 4 then do 4×6+1 it will equal 25

Then put the 2 on top of the 7 then do 7×6+2 it will equal 44

Then put the 4 on top of the 3 then do 3×6+4 it will equal 22

And that's how you get your answer.
