Answer:

B. 18 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they are similar, we can say that segment AC corresponds to segment DF, and segment AB corresponds to segment ED. So, we can set up a proportion.

\frac{16}{24} =\frac{12}{x}

\frac{2}{3} =\frac{12}{x}

2 * x = 12 * 3

2x = 36

x = 18

So, the length of ED is B. 18 cm.

Hope this helps!

The point A(-8, 6) is translated using T: (x,y) → (x + 5. y - 4). What is the distance from A to A'?
Vsevolod [243]
Translated means the points are moving across the plane without rotating or changing shape. In this case, the x-coordinate would be moving up 5 (x + 5) and the y-coordinate would be moving to the left 4 (y - 4).

A is (-8, 6). A' is the result of the translation from this point. The results of the solution above in A is the point (-3, 2) = A'.

Now you must find the distance between these two coordinates. To find the distance you must use the distance formula: √<span>(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2. Since you now have two points, A and A', plug these into the distance formula.

</span>√(-3 - (-8))^2 + (2 - 6)^2
√5^2 + (-4)^2
√25 + 16
√41

The distance from A to A' is √41.
