A figure is dilated by a factor of 2. What happens to the perimeter of the figure? show your work

Mathematics

DaniilM [7]4 years ago

Answer:

The perimeter is doubled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pretend we have a triangle with side measurements p,q, and r.

The perimeter will be the sum of the side measurements of this triangle which is p+q+r.

If we decide to dilate the figure by a factor of 2, then we are multiply each side by 2. So the perimeter of the new triangle becomes 2p+2q+2r.

Factoring this gives us 2(p+q+r). The perimeter has doubled.

The same thing would happen if we look at a quadrilateral. There would be 4 measurements multiplied by 2 and you would factor out the 2 giving you 2(old perimeter) for the new perimeter of the dilated shape.

How many times does 96 go into 195
Anna007 [38]
You can also do the division with remainders to find the answer:

195 ÷ 96 = 2,041666666666667

So you can clearly see that there are more than two but less than three 96s in 195. So multiply 96 by 2 and then substract the result from 195 to find the remainder:

96 * 2 = 192
195 - 192 = 3

It means that in 195 there will fit two 96s with a remainder of 3.

We can also write it as two 96s and 3/96, what can be further simplified to two 96s and 1/32.

Cuanto es un <br> feet en ce centimetros
r-ruslan [8.4K]
How much is 1 foot in 1 centimeters?
First we need to know:
1 foot = 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
Those are the things that we need to know beforehand.

Then, we can start converting.
= 1 ft * (12 in / 1 ft) * (2.54 cm / 1in)
= 30.48 cm

So 1 foot is just equal to 30.48 cm
