How does the area of the triangle relate to the area of the square? Please Explain!!! I really don't get it!

A square has 4 right angles and 4 equal sides.
If you draw a diagonal through the square then you get two right triangles. So the area relation between a square and a right triangle is going to be half. The area of the triangle is half the area of the square.

Also the formula for area of a square is length times width.
And the formula for the area of a right triangle is 0.5 times length times width.

So if you set up the equation (let's use * as multiplication symbol ):

Area of a Square : Area of a Right Triangle
length * width : 0.5 * length * width
(Divide by length * width on both sides)
1:0.5 or 2:1

If T: (x, y) → (x + 6, y + 4), then T-1: (x,y) → _____.

alexgriva [62]

T is a linear transformation from R²→R² with basis {(1,0),(0,1)}
T: (x,y)→(x+6,y+4)

A function from one vector space to another that preserves the underlying (linear) structure of each vector space is called a linear transformation.

Then the vector (1,0) goes to (1+6,4)=(7,4)=7(1,0)+4(0,1)

and the vector (0,1) goes to (6,1+4)=(6,5)=6(1,0)+5(0,1)

So, the matrix of the transformation is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&6\\4&5\end{array}\right]$

The inverse of the matrix is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{5}{11}&\frac{-6}{11}\\ \\\frac{-4}{11}&\frac{7}{11}\end{array}\right]$

So, the Inverse Transformation is given by

$T^{-1}(x,y)=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{5}{11}&\frac{-6}{11}\\ \\\frac{-4}{11}&\frac{7}{11}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =(\frac{5x-6y}{11}, \frac{-4x+7y}{11})$
