Answer:

Part a) The dilation is a contraction

Part b) The scale factor is 0.75

Part c) AR=1.1\ cm

Part d) TN=4.8\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)  Assume ∆TRI was dilated to become the image ∆TAN. Is the dilation an expansion or a contraction?

We have that

The pre-image is the triangle TRI (original figure)

The image is the triangle TAN (dilated figure)

we know that

If the image is smaller than the pre-image then the dilation is a contraction or reduction

If the image is greater than the pre-image then the dilation is a expansion or enlargement

The triangle TAN is smaller than triangle TRI

so

the image is smaller than the pre-image

therefore

The dilation is a contraction

Part b) What is the scale factor?

we know that

A dilation is a non-rigid transformation that produces similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

triangle TAN ~ triangle TRI

Let

z ----> the scale factor

z=\frac{AN}{RI}

AN and RI are corresponding sides

substitute the given values

z=\frac{6}{8}=0.75

Part c) Calculate AR. Show your work

Remember that the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and is equal to the scale factor

so

\frac{TA}{TR}=z

substitute the given values

\frac{3.3}{TR}=0.75

Solve for TR

TR=3.3/0.75\\TR=4.4\ cm

Find the length of AR

we know that

TR=TA+AR ----> by segment addition postulate

substitute the given values

4.4=3.3+AR\\AR=4.4-3.3=1.1\ cm

Part d) Use the Side-Splitting Theorem to find TN.

we know that

The <em>s</em><u><em>ide splitter theorem</em></u> states that if a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally

Applying the Side-Splitting Theorem

\frac{TN}{NI}=\frac{TA}{AR}

substitute the given values

\frac{TN}{1.6}=\frac{3.3}{1.1}

solve for TN

TN=1.6(3.3)/1.1\\TN=4.8\ cm

Suppose that you are to make a rectangular box with a square base from two different materials. The material for the top and fou
saw5 [17]

Answer:

height = 14.5 ft

width = length = 3.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square base is a and the height of the box is h.

The material required to make the box is equal to the total surface area of the box.

Area of base = a²

Cost of square base is $ 2 per ft²

So, the cost of making base = 2a²

Area of four walls + area of top = 2 (a² + ah + ah) + a² =  3a² + 2ah

Cost of making walls and the top is $ 1 per ft²

So, the cost of making walls and the top = 1 x ( 3a² + 2ah)

Total cost of making the box = 2a² + 3a² + 2ah = 5a² + 2ah

According to the question

144 = 5a² + 2ah

h = \frac{144-5a^{2}}{2a}     .... (1)

The volume of the box is V = length x width x height

V = a x a x h

V = 72 a - 2.5 a³     from equation (1)

Differentiate both sides with respect to a.

dV/da = 72 - 7.5 a²

Put, it equal to zero for maxima and minima

7.5 a² = 72

a = 3.2 ft

Put in equation (1)

h = \frac{144-5\times 3.2\times 3.2}{2\times 3.2}

h = 14.5 ft

So, the dimensions of the box are

height = 14.5 ft

width = length = 3.2 ft

3. A straight line passes through two points with
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line

(x₁ , y₁) = (6 , 8)   & (x₂ , y₂) = (0 , 5)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{5-8}{0-6}\\\\=\frac{-3}{-6}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}

m = 1/2  ;(x₁ , y₁) = (6 , 8)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 8 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)\\\\y - 8 =\frac{1}{2}x -\frac{1}{2}*6\\\\y - 8 =\frac{1}{2}x- 3\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3 + 8\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}x + 5
