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.

A flying squirrel lives in a nest that is 9 meters high in a tree. To reach a fallen acorn that is 4 meters from the base of the

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Flying squirrel have to glide is for 9.8 meters approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can use Pythagoras theorem.

Height is 9 , base is 4.

We need to find the hypotenuse measure.

So, let's use Pythagoras theorem $a^{2} +b^{2}= c^{2}$

Plug in a as 9 and b 4.

$9^{2} +4^{2}=c^{2}$

Simplify the left side of the equation

$81+16=c^{2}$

$97=c^{2}$

Take square root on both sides.

c=9.8 meters.

Bumek [7]

Equation: y= 9x+ (y-intercept)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. <em>m</em> represents the slope of the line, and <em>b</em> represents the y=intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis.
