This problem exercises the concept of "similar triangles."

With similar triangles, we can compare the sides using ratios.
The equation we can use to find side A is stated below.

Side 1A / Side 1B = Side 2A / Side 2B

The number refers to the triangle, and the letter refers to the side of each triangle. Side A in both triangles must be the base of the triangle, and side B in both triangles can be either of the other sides. The only restriction is that once we pick a side B on triangle 1, we must pick that same side on triangle 2.

A / 7 = 3 / 2

Then we can solve for the length of side A.

A = 7*3/2 = 21/2 = (E) None of These

Find the sum of the first six terms of a geometric series in which a1 = 4 and r = -3: A. 729 B. -729 C. -728 D. 728 plz help

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{a_{1}(r^n-1) }{r-1}$

Here a₁ = 4 and r = - 3, thus

$S_{6}$ = $\frac{4((-3)^6-1)}{-3-1}$

= $\frac{4(729-1)}{-4}$ = - (729 - 1) = - 728 → C

The coordinate point F(-8, 0) after a dilation with scale factor of 0.25, centered at the origin, becomes the point

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$(-2,\, 0)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilate a point $(x,\, y)$ by a scale factor of $r$ with $(a,\, b)$ as the center, and the resultant point would be at $(a + r\, (x - a),\, b + r\, (y - a))$ .
