Rectangle A′B′C′D′ is the image of rectangle ABCD after a dilation.

Mathematics

Natalija [7]3 years ago

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′.

What is a sextant and how is it used?
Elan Coil [88]
A sextant<span> is a </span>doubly reflecting navigation instrument<span> that measures the </span>angular distance<span> between two visible objects. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an </span>astronomical object<span> and the </span>horizon<span> for the purposes of </span>celestial navigation<span>.

The estimation of this angle, the altitude, is known as </span>sighting<span> or </span>shooting<span> the object, or </span>taking a sight<span>. The angle and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a </span>position line<span> on a nautical or aeronautical </span>chart. F<span>or example; sighting the </span>Sun<span> at </span>noon <span>or </span>Polaris<span> at night (in the Northern Hemisphere) to estimate </span>latitude<span>. Sighting the height of a landmark can give a measure of </span>distance off<span> and held horizontally.

A sextant can measure angles between objects for a </span>position on a chart.<span> A sextant can also be used to measure the </span>lunar distance<span> between the moon and another celestial object (such as a star or planet) in order to determine </span>Greenwich Mean Time<span> and hence </span>longitude<span>. 

Hope this helps!

(-19, 12) , (-9, 1) <br><br> slope again
siniylev [52]
Answer: 11/-10

Why?
Difference of y / difference of x
12-1 / -19+9= 11/-10

So the slope is 11/-10
