Answer: 1 5/9 (one and five-ninths)
Answer:
a) 1/2; reduction
b) 5/4; enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.
a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction
__
b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
since all angles add up to 180
and since this is a right triangle the square in the corner is 90 degrees
so 40+90+x=180
130+x=180
subtract 130 from both sides
130-130+x=180-130
x=50
Hope that helps :)
