Answer:  The value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the triangle DEF is similar to the triangle RST.

We are to find the value of x and the scale factor of the dilation.

We know that the corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

So, we must have

\dfrac{DE}{RS}=\dfrac{EF}{ST}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3\times4\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.

The scale factor is given by

S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated triangle}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original triangle}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{RS}{DE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{4}{3}.

Thus, the value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

Draw the line of reflection that reflects quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral A'B'C'D'
MArishka [77]

The two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5) and the equation of the line is 8y = 7x + 12 passing through the two points.

<h3>What is geometric transformation?</h3>

It is defined as the change in coordinates and the shape of the geometrical body. It is also referred to as a two-dimensional transformation. In the geometric transformation, changes in the geometry can be possible by rotation, translation, reflection, and glide translation.

We have a quadrilateral ABCD which is reflected over a line and formed a mirror image A'B'C'D' of the quadrilateral.

From the graph:

The two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5)

The line equation passing through two points:

[y - 5] = (5+2)/(4+4)[x - 4]

y - 5 = 7/8[x - 4]

8y - 40 = 7x - 28

8y = 7x + 12

Thus, the two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5) and the equation of the line is 8y = 7x + 12 passing through the two points.

I need to find sec(theta)= 2(sqrt3)/3
Sloan [31]

Answer: 30° and 330°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

sec θ = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}

sec θ = \frac{1}{cos(\theta)}

\frac{1}{cos(\theta)} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}

cos θ = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}}

cos θ = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}}(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}})

cos θ = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{3*2}

cos θ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Look at the Unit Circle to see that cos = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} at 30° and 330°  ( which is equivalent to π/6 and 11π/6)

Find two consecutive even integers such that four times the first plus three times the second is 20
Mila [183]
2 consecutive even integers : x and x + 2

4(x) + 3(x + 2) = 20
4x + 3x + 6 = 20
7x + 6 = 20
7x = 20 - 6
7x = 14
x = 14/7
x = 2

x + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

so ur first number (x) = 2 and ur second number (x + 2) = 4
