Answer:

Locate two corresponding ordered pairs of the two shapes. Calculate how much the pre-image values were multiplied by to obtain the image values. This is your scale factor. You can calculate this by dividing the coordinates of the mage by the corresponding coordinates of the pre-image.

Assume that the initial coordinates are (x,y) and that the dilated coordinates are (x',y').

The dilation is therefore:
(x,y) ............> (x',y')

Now, let's assume that the dilation factor is k.
Therefore:
x' = kx
y' = ky

Based on the above, all the student has to do is get the initial coordinates and the final ones and then substitute in any of the above two equations to get the value of k.

Example:
Assume an original point at (2,4) is dilated to coordinates (4,8). Find the dilation factor.
Assume the dilation coefficient is k.
(x,y) are (2,4) and (x',y') are (4,8)
Therefore:
x' = kx .........> 4 = k*2 ..........> k = 2
or:
y' = ky ..........> 8 = k*4 .........> k = 2
Based on the above, the dilation coefficient would be 2.

Hope this helps :)

A person whose eye level is 20 feet above the ground is looking at a building. The angle of elevation to the top of the building
Inessa [10]
Distance of the person from the building (x)

tan 24 = 20/x => x = 20/tan 24 = 44.92 ft

The height of the building above the height of the person and the distance of the person from the building forms two legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore, if h is the height of the building, then;
tan 31 = (h-20)/44.92
h-20 = 44.92 tan 31
h = (44.92 tan 31) + 20 = 26.99 + 20 = 46.99 ft

Choose the symbol that correctly compares the fractions below.<br> 8/9 ? 1/9
gladu [14]

Answer:

Which means that this equation is also true: 8/9 > 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 8/9 less than 1/9? Is 8/9 smaller than 1/9? These are the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

8/9 = 0.889

1/9 = 0.111

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.889 is not less than 0.111.

Therefore, 8/9 is not less than 1/9 and the answer to the question "Is 8/9 less than 1/9?" is no.
