A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertices at A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), a

nd C′(15, 0). The origin is the center of dilation. What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Let s be the scale factor then:

4s=10 and 6s=15

s=10/4 and s=15/6

s=5/2 and s=5/2

s=2.5

The scale factor is 2.5.

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the two triangles are similar:

$\dfrac{x}{9}=\dfrac{16}{x} \\\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{9}=16 \\\\\\x^2=144 \\\\\\x=12$

A taxi charges a flat rate of R10, and an additional cost of 30 cents per kilometer. If you have

Maslowich

Step-by-step explanation:

so, just by getting into the taxi we have to pay R10.

that leaves us 22 - 10 = R12 for the actual trip.

30 cents per kilometer.

so, how many units of 30 cents are there in R12 ? that is the number of kilometers we can go.

R12 = 1200 cent (right ?)

1200 / 30 = 120 / 3 = 40

so, we can travel 40 kilometers for that money.
