Answer:

  18√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle sharing a vertex with the larger one is similar and half the area. That means its linear dimensions are √(1/2) = (√2)/2 times those of the larger triangle.

The line segment of interest has length ...

  36 × (√2)/2 = 18√2

_____

The ratio of area of similar figures is the square of the ratio of their linear dimensions. Thus the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area.

How do u find the mean median mode and range?
seropon [69]
Mean is the average. So you add up all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there were.

Mode is the number that occurred the most.

Median is the number that is in the middle when you list the numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least.

Range is calculated when you subtract the biggest number in the group by the smallest number.

mixer [17]
The scale factor is 1/2 because when you multiply the x and y-coordinates of each point by 1/2, you will get the coordinates of the new dilated points.
