Answer: Dilation is a transformation that proportionally reduces or enlarges a figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation a transformation that changes the size of the shape by using scale factor in particular ways .

It stretches or shrinks the actual figure. It produces similar figures.

Since the corresponding sides of similar figures are in proportion.

⇒ It proportionally reduces or enlarges a figure.

Hence, A dilation is a transformation that proportionally reduces or enlarges a figure.

Find the missing side

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Hi there!
The question here is basically asking us to use ratios to find the length of the missing side. To do this, we must first construct a ratio. The best one would be -
$\frac{84}{12} = \frac{56}{x}$
Now, just cross multiply and solve for x.
$\frac{84}{12} = \frac{56}{x}$
$84x = 672$
$x = 8$
Therefore, the length of the missing side would be 8. Hope this helped!

Answer:

$x+2y-z=5 ...(1)\\ -x-y+2z=-13...(2) \\ 2x+y-2z=14...(3) \\ \\ add \: (2) + (3) \\\boxed{x= 1} \\ 2 \times (1) + (2) \\ x + 3y = - 3 \\ 1 + 3y = - 3 \\ 3y = - 4 \\ \boxed{y = - \frac{4}{3} }\\ solve \: for \: z \\ x + 2y - z = 5 \\ 1-\frac{4}{3}(2)-z=5\\3-8-3z=15\\3z=-20\\\boxed{z = - \frac{20}{3} }$
