How to find the scale factor of two triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
BabaBlast [244]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Here's how to do it.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles must be similar, that is, corresponding angles must be equal, as in the diagram below.

1. Find a corresponding pair of sides

Assume that ∆ABC is the original and ∆DEF is its scaled image.

Then, AB and DE are corresponding sides, with lengths of 8 and 12 units , respectively.

2. Set up a ratio

Ratio = side length in image/side length in original = 12/8

3. Simplify the ratio

The simplified ratio is the scale factor (SF).

SF = 12/8 = 3/2 = 1.5

The scale factor is 1.5.

<span>y in (-oo:+oo)

(3*y+6)/11 = -9 // + 9

(3*y+6)/11+9 = 0

(3*y+6)/11+(9*11)/11 = 0

3*y+9*11+6 = 0

3*y+105 = 0

(3*y+105)/11 = 0

(3*y+105)/11 = 0 // * 11

3*y+105 = 0

3*y+105 = 0 // - 105

3*y = -105 // : 3

y = -105/3

y = -35

y = -35</span>

SIZIF [17.4K]

(18 \div 2)  + 2 = x
X= lbs Abbys dog weighs
so you would take 18 divide by 2 which is 9, then you add 2. So Abbys dog weighs, 11 lbs.
