The scale factor of the dilation from ABCD to A′B′C′D′ is 3.

Explanation:

In the smaller rectangle, ABCD the length of the rectangle is 4 - 1 = 3 units, while the width of the rectangle is 5 - 1 = 4 units. For the larger rectangle, A′B′C′D′ the rectangle's length is 12 - 3 = 9 units and the rectangle's width is 15 - 3 = 12 units.

To determine the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling. In this case, it can either be the rectangle's length or width. So the scale factor = $\frac{lengthafterdilation}{lengthbeforedilation}$ = $\frac{9}{3}$ = 3. While the scale factor for width = $\frac{widthafterdilation}{widthbeforedilation}$ = $\frac{12}{4}$ = 3.

So the rectangle ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to produce rectangle A′B′C′D′.

Answer:

$y=2\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is a theorem that can be applied to the sides of a right triangle. Please note that a right angle refers to an angle with a measure of (90) degrees. A box around an angle shows that the angle is a right angle, or has a measure of (90) degrees. The Pythagorean theorem states the following,

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Where (a) and (b) are the legs of the triangle, or the side adjacent to the right angle in the right triangle. (c) is the side opposite the right angle, or the hypotenuse of the triangle. One can apply this theorem to the smallest triangle in the diagram to find (y),

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Substitute,

$(1)^2+(y)^2=(3)^2$

Simplify,

$(1)^2+(y)^2=(3)^2$

$1+y^2=9$

Inverse operations,

$1+y^2=9$

$y^2=8$

$y=\sqrt{8}$

Take a factor from out of the square root. Remember that a number times itself under the radical is equal to the number. This can be simply stated as the following: ( $\sqrt{a*a}=a$ ),

$y=\sqrt{8}$

$8=2*2*2$

$y=\sqrt{8}$

$y=\sqrt{2*2*2}$

$y=2\sqrt{2}$

The value of sin^2 30° - cos^2 30° is

natulia [17]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not going to go into detail about how to compute sin30 and cos 30, but know that sine and cosine are just the ratios between the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle with a hypothenuse of 1.

With that being said:

sin^2 30 - cos^2 30

= (1/2)^2 - ((sqrt3)/2)^2

= 1/4 - 3/4

= -1/2
