Mathematics

Ber [7]3 years ago

Answer:

No, the area of the dilated triangle will increase by a factor of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

When the scale factor by which the dimensions is dilated = 3, we have;

The original length of base = b

The base length of the dilated triangle = 3×b

The original height of the the triangle = h

The height of the dilated triangle = 3×h

The original area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2×b×h

The area of the dilated triangle = 1/2 × base of dilated triangle × height of dilated triangle

∴ The area of the dilated triangle = 1/2× 3 × b × 3× h  = 9×1/2× b×h

Which gives;

The area of the dilated triangle  = 3²×1/2× b×h= (Scale factor)²× The original area of the triangle.

From 3² = 9, we have;

The area of the dilated triangle = 9 × The original area of the triangle.

Therefore;

The area of the dilated triangle will increase by a factor of 9.

What is the midpoint
liq [111]

Answer:

midpoint formula:

x1+x2/2 y1+y2/2

-4 + (-2)/2 which then simplifies to -6/2 and then to -3

2 + 2 /2 which then simplifies to 2

x= -3

y= 2

so (-3,2) is the coordinate point of the midpoint of this segment

Given the following system of equations: −x + y = 2 2x + 4y = 32 What action was completed to create this new equivalent system
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

you just need to devide by 2 the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

  • -x + y = 2 (you leave it as it is)

  • 2x + 4y =32 => 2x/2 +4y/2 = 32/2

=> x + 2y =16

we can devide or multiply in an equation by any number we want, as long as we do it to every term.
