Answer: x < 38
Step-by-step explanation: Raymond has less money than Martin but you don’t know how much. So you use the less than sign to show that it’s less than 38 dollars
Original coordinates of the points:
A (8,15) ; B (12,13) ; C (8,10)
Dilated scale factor of 3.
A ⇒ 3x = 3(8) = 24 ; 3y = 3(15) = 45 ⇒ A' (24,45)
B ⇒ 3x = 3(12) = 36 ; 3y = 3(13) = 39 ⇒ B' (36, 39)
C ⇒ 3x = 3(8) = 24 ; 3y = 3(10) = 30 ⇒ C' (24, 30)
The given image forms a right triangle. So, I'll get the short leg and long leg of the right triangle to solve for the hypotenuse, length of CB.
Short leg: y value of B and C
39 - 30 = 9
Long leg: x value of B and C
36 - 24 = 12
a² + b² = c²
9² + 12² = c²
81 + 144 = c²
225 = c²
√225 = √c²
15 = c
The length of CB is 15 units.
