$\Delta ABC\sim\Delta DAC\\\\then\\\\\frac{|AC|}{|BC|}=\frac{|CD|}{|AC|}\\\\|AC|^2=|BC|\cdot|CD|\\\\|AC|^2=4\cdot27\\\\|AC|=\sqrt{4\cdot27}\\\\|AC|=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{27}\\\\|AC|=2\cdot\sqrt{9\cdot3}\\\\|AC|=2\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt3\\\\|AC|=2\cdot3\sqrt3\\\\|AC|=6\sqrt3$

Graph the image of this quadrilateral after a dilation with a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin

Brut [27]

Answer: The image is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the image and the pre-image have the same shape, but their sizes are different.

When the scale factor is greater than 1, the image obtained after the dilation is greater than the pre-image and it is an "Enlargement".

When the scale factor is is between 0 and 1, the image obtained after the dilation is smaller than the pre-image and it is an "Reduction".

In this case we know that the scale factor is:

$scale\ factor=4$

Since:

$4>1$

It is an Enlargement.

You can identify that the vertices of the pre-image shown in the figure, are:

$(-2,1)\\\\(-1,2)\\\\(0,0)\\\\(-1,-2)$

So you need to multiply the coordinates of those vertices by 4 in order to get the coordinates of the image;

$((-2)(4),1(4))=(-8,4)\\\\((-1)(4),(2)(4))=(-4,8)\\\\((0)(4),(0)(4)=(0,0)\\\\((-1)(4),(-2)(4))=(-4,-8)$

Now you can draw it (The image is attached).

Explain solving systems of equations using substition?

Nitella [24]

when solving a system of equations the difference between that and elimination is the when you're using the Elimination u have to first multiply the numbers but when substituting it's different unlike the Elimination this is all ik and can u mark me brainliest?

In his free time, Gary spends 13 hours per week on the Internet and 13 hours per week playing video games. If Gary has five hour

goldenfox [79]

Gary spend 13 hours per week on the Internet and 13 hours on video games Gary has 5 hours of free time each day,
so total free time in a week=> 7*5=35 hours
Now he spends 13+13 hours on the internet and games=28 hours Percentage free time spent on games and internet

26/35 (that is a fraction) x100 =74.285714
