Answer:

12 cm


Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportionality/similarity problem.

10 cm turned to 4 cm. So by how much has it decreased? In other words, <em>10 multiplied by </em><em>WHAT</em><em> is 4?</em>

10*x=4\\x=\frac{4}{10}\\x=0.4

0.4 is also known as the scale factor from the large diagram to the small diagram.

So how much would 30 cm become?<em> It would be 30 multiplied by the scale factor, which is </em><em>0.4</em><em>.</em>

30*0.4=12

<u>Hence, the length of the reduced diagram would be </u><u>12 cm</u><u>.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, M(-5,9) be x1 , y1

N(-2,7) be x2, y2

Now,

Using mid point formula

x = x1+x2/2 y = y1+y2/2

= -5-2/2 = 9+7/2

= -7/2 = 16/2

= 8
