Answer:
a) 1/2; reduction
b) 5/4; enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.
a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction
__
b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
187 divided by 7 is 6.5
Answer:
Scalene triangle (As the definition says)
(b - 4z)/7 = a
b - 4z = 7a
b = 7a + 4z
Answer: b = 7a + 4z
The greatest common factor of this can be solved by looking at the individual parts and splitting it up.
First, we have 28 and 7. Well, thats an easy one. 7 goes into 28 4 times so we are now left with 4 and 1.
We can also write the rest of this like this 4(x*x*y) - 1(x*y*y*y*y*y)
Now, what values are in both equations. We have one x and one y that can be taken out of both.
We end up with 7xy(4x-7y^4)
