Assume that the initial coordinates are (x,y) and that the dilated coordinates are (x',y').
The dilation is therefore:
(x,y) ............> (x',y')
Now, let's assume that the dilation factor is k.
Therefore:
x' = kx
y' = ky
Based on the above, all the student has to do is get the initial coordinates and the final ones and then substitute in any of the above two equations to get the value of k.
Example:
Assume an original point at (2,4) is dilated to coordinates (4,8). Find the dilation factor.
Assume the dilation coefficient is k.
(x,y) are (2,4) and (x',y') are (4,8)
Therefore:
x' = kx .........> 4 = k*2 ..........> k = 2
or:
y' = ky ..........> 8 = k*4 .........> k = 2
Based on the above, the dilation coefficient would be 2.
Hope this helps :)
Weight at 8 months = 7.25 x 2 1/2
= 7.25 x 5/2
= 7.25 x 2.5
= 18.125
The baby weighs 18.125 pounds at eight months.
Answer:
The area of circle 1 is 9 times greater than area of circle 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Radius of circle 1 = 12
Area of circle 1 = πr²
Area of circle 1 = 
Area of circle 1 = 452.16
Radius of circle 2 = 4
Area of circle 2 = 
Area of circle 2 = 50.24
Let,
x be the number of times circle 1 is bigger than circle 2.
Area circle 1 = x * Area circle 2

Hence,
The area of circle 1 is 9 times greater than area of circle 2.
