To know if a dilation is an expansion ( bigger) r a contraction ( smaller) ignore the negative sign.
If the number is larger than 1, it is an expansion, if the number is smaller than 1 it is a contraction.
-4 is an expansion
2.5 is an expansion
2/3 is a contraction
-3/4 is a contraction
In this, we have to see if we can get a common ratio between both of the triangles. Lets start by dividing 5 from 10. From this, we get 2. If we divide 7 from 14, we also get 2, so we know that they are similar. Therefore, both of them are similar because AB/FD = AC/FE
31.65 should go into the box to complete the subtraction problem.
The correct answer is x= -1 or -3
