1. the image is multiplied by the scale factor. if the scale factor is 2, the image is twice the size of the preimage. if the scale factor is ⅓, the image is one third the size. only a scale factor of 1 preserves congruency

Answer: If an image of a triangle is congruent to the pre-image, then the scale factor of the dilation must be n = <u> 1</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is similar as the original, but has a different size. In a dilation, the corresponding the sides of the pre-image and sides of the image are proportional.

\Rightarrow\frac{\text{pre-image}}{\text{image}}=n (\text{scale factor})

Let ΔPQR is dilated to ΔP'Q'R' such that ΔPQR≅ΔP'Q'R'

By CPCTC, PQ=P'Q'  QR≅Q'R' and PR≅P'R'.

\Rightarrow\frac{PQ}{P'Q'}=\frac{QR}{Q'R'}=\frac{PR}{P'R'}=1

⇒ n=1

Hence, If an image of a triangle is congruent to the pre-image, then the scale factor of the dilation must be n =  1.

Scientists found the wreck of the titanic 3797 m below sea level. How many km below sea level is the wreck?
WINSTONCH [101]

We are given that the titanic is found 3,797 m below sea level. This is simply equivalent to 3.797 km or 3.8 km when rounded off to one decimal.

We should take note that the letter k in km means kilo and a kilo is equivalent to 1000. So this means that for 1 km there is exactly 1000 m. So to convert, simply multiply a value with unit m with this conversion factor. Conversion factor = 1 km / 1000 m

Depth of titanic = 3,797 m (1 km / 1000 m)

Depth of titanic = 3.797 km = 3.8 km

What would the equation be for d=0.68t + 1.5
frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

d=0.68t + 1.5        if t time is 3 hrs

d=0.68(3) + 1.5

 = 2.04 + 1.5

d= 3.54 ft

b)

d=0.68t + 1.5     if d depth is 4 ft    solve for t

d - 1.5 = 0.68t

(d - 1.5) / 0.68 = t

(4 - 1.5) / 0.68 = t

t = 2.5/0.68

t  =  3.68 ft

c)   I needed to bury my moth.....  cat.
