Answer:

A dilation preserves angle measures.

A dilation alters the length of line segments by the same proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilatation is a transformation that alters a figure's size while maintaining its shape and orientation. Each linear measure of the figure, such as a side length, is multiplied by the scale factor of a dilatation. A dilation is a transformation where all line segments' lengths are altered uniformly. While a dilatation can alter a figure's size, it cannot alter a figure's form. Dilations are not isometries as the figure's size changes.

1 liter=.26 gallons so 20 liters= 20*.26= 5.2 gallons.

You need to use .75 ounces of soda ash per gallon so you must multiply .75 by 5.2.

.75*5.2 = 3.9 ounces

Because when you multiply by 10, it adds a zero to the end of the number, like 12*10 = 120, so vise versa for dividing

5,5,3 Is this a triangle? Explain.

Vlad1618 [11]

Problem 1

Answer: Yes a triangle can be formed with side lengths 5,5,3

--------------------

Explanation:

Take any two sides and add them up. If we get a sum larger than the third side, then a triangle is possible. This is the triangle inequality theorem.

5+5 = 10 is larger than 3

5+3 = 8 is larger than 5

This shows a triangle is possible. The triangle is isosceles because two sides are the same length.

==========================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Yes a triangle can be formed with side lengths 8,8,8

--------------------

Explanation:

This triangle is equilateral because all sides are the same length.

Take any two sides, add them up, and you'll find the sum is larger than the third side.

==========================================================

Problem 3

Answer: No a triangle cannot be formed with sides 7,8,15

--------------------

Explanation:

Yes it is true that

8+15 = 23 is larger than 7

7+15 = 22 is larger than 8

but

7+8 = 15 is not larger than 15

So this means a triangle is not possible.

Imagine you had 3 strips of paper that were 7 inches, 8 inches and 15 inches long. The 7 and 8 inch strips add to 15 inches, but those two smaller strips only form a straight line. We cannot pull them so a triangle forms. If we did, then the third side would be smaller than 15 inches. This is one way to get hands on to see why the triangle inequality theorem works.

==========================================================

Problem 4

Answer: Yes a triangle is possible with side lengths 5,6,10

--------------------

Explanation:

Same idea as before. We can take any two sides, add them, and get a sum larger than the third side. A triangle is possible.

5+6 = 11 is larger than 10
6+10 = 16 is larger than 5
5+10 = 15 is larger than 6
