Polygon ABCD is reflected and dilated to give polygon PQRS. The coordinates of the preimage are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: The scale factor of the dilation is 0.5.

Explanation:

It is given that ABCD is polygon which is reflected and dilated , then we get PQRS.

The vertices of ABCD are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16, 2) respectively. The vertices of image PQRS are (11, 15),(9, 12), (6, 12), and (4, 15) respectively.

The reflection affects the coordinates but does not affect the length of the sides.

But when we talk about dilation it affects the length of sides according to the scale factor or a constant factor.

If a line segment AB is dilated by scale factor k then length of A'B' is k times length of AB.

$|A'B'|=k\times |AB|$ .... (1)

So we have to find any side length of preimage and the side length of that side in image. it means we have to find AB and PQ.

Use distance formula to find the side length.

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{(8-2)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{36+16}=2\sqrt{13}$

$PQ=\sqrt{(9-11)^2+(12-15)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}$

It is noticed that the size of side in preimage is $2\sqrt{13}$ and the size of same side in image is $\sqrt{13}$ .

Using equation (1), we get

$\sqrt{13}=k \times 2\sqrt{13}$

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

$k=0.5$

Hence, the value of scale factor is 0.5.

Given that a rectangle has a length of 5/2x + 10 with a width of 5/2x + 5, formulate an expression to represents the area of the

stepan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L = ⁵/₂x + 10

W = ⁵/₂x + 5

A = L•W

A = (⁵/₂x + 10)(⁵/₂x + 5)

A = ⁵/₂x•⁵/₂x + ⁵/₂x•5 + 10•⁵/₂x + 10•5

A = ²⁵/₄x² + ²⁵/₂x + ⁵⁰/₂x + 50

A = ²⁵/₄x² + ⁷⁵/₂x + 50

Or if yoy mean:

L = 5/(2x) + 10

W = 5/(2x) + 5

A = [5/(2x) + 10][5/(2x) + 5] = 25/(4x²) + 75/(2x) + 50

Plz help with this math. Can't find the area of the triangular faces.

Zina [86]

First of all, you have to find the area of both triangles:
$\frac{bh}{2}$
$\frac{4*4}{2}$
Or just 16 because there are 2 of the same triangles.

Now you have to find the area of the 3 rectangles.

The two that are in the front are 4*3 (l*h) or 12*2 (because there are 2 congruent rectangles. The area of those rectangles is 24 square mm.

Now you find the area of the back rectangle:
5.7*3 = 17.1

Finally, you add all the found numbers to figure out the surface area.
17.1 + 16 + 24 = 57.1 square millimeters.

Hope this helped,

James has 3 pairs of running shoes for every 4 pairs of basketball shoes. If he has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, how many pairs

GaryK [48]

If James has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, then the ratio would be 3:4 which would stop at 3:12. Then the individual ratios would be 3:4, 6:8, and 9:12

So James has 9 pairs of running shoes

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

11,67

Step-by-step explanation:

In the order to get the answer, we need to get the right measurements. That is turn the cm into m or 60 cm to 0,6 m because 1 cm is 0.01m. How many cupboards in a kitchen that is 4,2 m long? To get the answer just divide 4,2 m with 0,6 m, and that is 11,67 cupboards in a 4,2 m long kitchen.
