Please note that dilation does not affect angles. Thus, if an image is dilated the angle remains the same and does not change.
Therefore, even if 
is dilated to 
by a factor of 1.5 (or by any factor for that matter), the linear dimensions of the original triangle will either get stretched or get shrunk by a factor of 1.5 but the angles of the original triangle will not be affected in any case.
Please note that this is true for all two dimensional geometric shapes.
I believe it is associative because you can plug in 7 for be and still get the same answer as if you put in b for 7.
The correct answer is A. The total points Shelly earned
The absolute value of numbers is the distance it is from 0. More simply, you can just take away the negative sign (if there is one).
5 is 5 away from 0.
-6 is 6 away from 0.
2 is 2 away from 0.
-9 is 9 away from 0.
