Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent, that is

∠ B = ∠ E , substitute values

x + 15 = 6x - 65 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 5x + 15 = - 65 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

- 5x = - 80 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 16

On the graph below are three points X, Y, and Z. Write the coordinates for the given dilation.

Julli [10]

ANSWER

$( - \frac{3}{2} , - 1)$

EXPLANATION

From the graph, the coordinates of Y are:

$(3,2)$

We want to find the image of this point after a dilation by a scale factor of -½ about the origin.

The rule for the dilation is :

$(x,y)\to( - \frac{1}{2} x, - \frac{1}{2} y)$

To find the coordinates of Y', we plug the coordinates of Y.

$Y(3,2)\to \: Y'( - \frac{1}{2} (3), - \frac{1}{2}(2) )$

$Y(3,2)\to \: Y'( - \frac{3}{2}, - 1)$

The first choice is correct.

I'm solving for UW. And we're using pythagorean theorem.

Alik [6]

UW = 45
a squared + b squared = c squared
- 6^2 + x^2 = 9^2
- 36 + x = 81
- (subtract 36 from both sides)
- x = 45

i'm pretty sure this is right and i hope it helps you!
