Why isn't a dilation considered a rigid transformation?

Mathematics

dexar [7]3 years ago

It's not rigid because dilations (scale factor not equal to 1) change the length of the segments, or the distances between the points. You'll get a similar figure but it won't be congruent. For example, if the scale factor is 3, then the distances will be three times as large; or the lengths will be 3 times as long. 

To be "rigid", the lengths must be kept the same. In contrast, a reflection is rigid because the distances are kept the same. The only thing changing is the orientation (clockwise to counter-clockwise, or vice versa).

choli [55]

Answer:

The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5

Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.

b : g = 3 : 5

5 b = 3 g ..... (1)

Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b - 9

So, the ratio is

(b - 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4

4 b - 36 = 6 + g

4 b - g = 42 .... (2)

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

4 b - \frac {5 b}{3}= 42\\\\\frac{7 b }{3} = 42\\\\b = 18

And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30

So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

I would think Pakistan should be more than just 4 times as large as Kenya. However if you are given that Kenya is 50 000 000 then Pakistan will be 4 times the size of Kenya.

Pakistan = 4 * Kenya

Pakistan = 4 * 50 000 000

Pakistan = 200 000 000

Answer: Pakistan = 200 000 000
