Answer: 89 meters


Step-by-step explanation:


Similar triangles have sides in proportion.


All sides of the tower's triangle are 48.25/1.74 times as long as the pole's triangle.


The tower is 3.2 × 48.25 / 1.74 = 88.7356321 m

Answer is 89 meters.

The graph shows the dilation of ΔABC with the origin as its center. Which rule describes this transformation? A) (x, y) → (2x, 2
podryga [215]

<u><em>Note: Since, you have not added the graph. So, I will give you a general overview of the concept of dilation, the understanding of which will make you clear your concept.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dilation is the kind of transformation which produces an image which has the same shape as the original object, but having a different size.

Here are some key factors regarding dilation:

  • Enlargement occurs when a dilation does create a larger image.
  • Reduction occurs when a dilation does create a smaller image.
  • A dilation shrinks or stretches the original object.
  • If the scale factor > 1, the image will be a stretch (enlargement)
  • If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image will be shrunk (reduction)
  • If the scale factor = 1, the original object and the image will be congruent

Here is the impact of dilation when (x, y) → (2x, 2y):

  • Dilation with scale factor 2, will have the rule as (x, y) → (2x, 2y). The image will be a stretch (enlargement) as the scale factor > 1.
  • The location of the new coordinates of the image can be obtained by multiplying the coordinates of the original figure by 2.

For example, the coordinates of the image of a point A(4, 8) will be A'(2×4, 2×8) or A'(8, 16) after the dilation of scale 2 at the origin.

Here is the impact of dilation when (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y):

  • Dilation with scale factor 0.5, will have the rule as (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y). The image will be shrunk (reduction) as the scale factor < 1.
  • The location of the new coordinates of the image can be obtained by multiplying the coordinates of the original figure by 0.5.

For example, the coordinates of the image of a point A(4, 8) will be A'(0.5×4, 0.5×8) or A'(2, 4) after the dilation of scale 0.5 at the origin.

The double number line below shows the approximate number of pounds in a certain number of kilograms: Two number lines are shown
tino4ka555 [31]

Draw a perpendicular line at the 4.5 kg to connect it to the line labeled with pounds and you would see that the 4.5 kg would be at the 10 pound mark.

The answer is 10 pounds.
