Triangle RST was dilated by a scale factor of 1/2
Given: triangle R'S'T', is an isosceles triangle, with each leg measuring 8 units. 
Pre-image: measure of pre-image * scale factor = measure of resulting image
measure of pre-image = measure of resulting image / scale factor
measure of pre-image = 8 / 1/2measure of pre-image = 8 * 2/1 
measure of pre-image = 16 units.

Answer:

16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

RST was dilated by a scale factor of 1/2.  This means R'S'T' has sides that are 1/2 the length of the sides of RST.

Since the legs of R'S'T' are 8 units, this gives us the equation

8 = 1/2x

Divide both sides by 1/2:

8÷1/2 = x

8 × 2/1 = x

16 = x

Each leg in RST is 16 units.

From the standard normal tables, obtain
P(z<1.95) = 0.9744
P(z<0.37) = 0.6443
P(z<1.32) = 0.9066
P(z<1.82) = 0.9656
P(z<1.05) = 0.8531
P(z<2.05) = 0.9798
P(z<0.03) = 0.5120
P(z<0.53) = 0.7019

Answers:
    Range of z                                       Area
     --------------   ---------------------------------------
a.     0 - 1.95                                      0.9744
b.     0 - 0.37                                     0.6443
c.  1.32 - 1.82   0.9656 - 0.9066 =   0.0590
d. 1.05 - 2.05  0.9798 - 0.8531   =   0.1267
e. 0.03 - 0.53  0.7019 - 0.5120   =   0.1899

A bottle of shampoo has a capacity of 0.43 L. How many milliliters of shampoo does the bottle contain? (1 L = 1,000 mL) A. 4.3 m
Finger [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

C. 430 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters

1L = 1,000mL

So the number we have to go from liters to milliliters we multiply it by 1,000 and change the L per mL

0.43L = 0.43 * 1000 mL

0.43L = 430 mL

The bottle of shampoo contain 430 mL

if we look at the options they give us, we will see that it is equal to option c

A. 4.3 mL

B. 860 mL

C. 430 mL

D. 43 mL
