Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12
After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3
The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25
Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
If the 26 bricks are each 7 cm, seems like multiplication or repeated addition would solve the problem. Multiplication would be faster. 26 x 7 = 182
182 cm tall.
Answer:
The product of 12 and k is 84
According to the given problem, the equation is

- <u>k = 7</u> is the right answer.
Solution for x+4=10 equation:
1x + 4 = 10
1x = 10 - 4
1x = 6 (divide both sides by 1 to get x)
1x/1 = 6/1
x = 6
I hope this helped.
