Answer:

The area of the dilated rectangle is equal to 40\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x------> the area of the dilated rectangle

y------> the area of the original rectangle

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=8 ------> is an enlargement

y=(5/8)\ ft^{2}

substitute and solve for x

8^{2}=\frac{x}{(5/8)}

x=64*(5/8)=40\ ft^{2}

A dilation is basically a factor of enlargement or reduction, where you multiply the factor for the dilation. 

So,

Multiply the numerator 5 by the factor of 8. 

5*8= 40 

40/8 ft^2= 5 ft^2

The new area if 5 ft^2. 

I hope this helps!

What is -4m= 1.75 what is m and what would it be if it was 4m= 1.75 instead of negative? Please explain work
emmainna [20.7K]
If it has the negative so the answer will be negative but if it doesn't have the negative so the answer is positive because if you want to find the m you should divide the both sides of the equation by the factor of m: 
-4m = 1.75 ⇒ -4m/-4 = 1.75/-4 ⇒ m = 1.75/-4 ⇒ m = -0.4375 

4m = 1.75 ⇒ 4m/4 = 1.75/4 ⇒ m = 1.75/4 ⇒ m = 0.4375 :)))
i hope this is helpful

I need help with this problem
Arada [10]

Answer:

65.56°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if we take dot product of two vectors then it is equal to the product of magnitudes of the vectors and cosine of the angle between them

That is let p and q be any two vectors and A be the angle between them

So, p·q=|p|*|q|*cosA

⇒cosA=\frac{u.v}{|u||v|}

Given u=-8i-3j and v=-8i+8j

|u|=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+ (-3)^{2}} =8.544

|v|=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+ (8)^{2}} =11.3137

let A be angle before u and v

therefore, cosA=\frac{u.v}{|u||v|}=\frac{(-8)*(-8)+(-3)*(8)}{8.544*11.3137} =\frac{40}{96.664}

⇒A=arccos(\frac{40}{96.664} )=arccos(0.4138 )=65.56

Therefore angle between u and v is 65.56°
