Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the scale factor of the given dilation.

We have been given that the perimeter of a rectangle changes from 2.5 to 10 after a dilation. We are asked to find the scale factor of dilation.

The scale factor multiplied by the original side gives the length of new side after dilation, so we can set an equation as:

\text{Original length }\cdot \text{Scale factor}=\text{New length after dilation}

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

2.5\cdot x=10

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 2.5 we will get,

\frac{2.5\cdot x}{2.5}=\frac{10}{2.5}

x=4

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is 4 and option B is the correct choice.

Scale factor = new length/old length

scale factor = 10/2.5 = 4

The scale factor is 4.

To find the circumference of the circle you need to do dπ. 22×π is 22π. That equals approximately 69.12. Since he walks around it 5 times, 69.12×5 is 345.6 yards.

(Please help ASAP 16 points! Thanks in advance!) solve -2a - 5 > 3
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

a<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you have to isolate a. This means you will have to add 5 to both sides. This will make the equation -2a>8. Divide both sides by 2 to get -a>4. Divide each side by -1 to get a>-4. Because you have to flip the sign when you divide by a negative number, you have to change it into a<-4.
