Answer:
Option B. 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with the center of dilation at (2, -1).
we have to calculate the scale factor of the dilation.
One point of the large triangle is (-4, -1). After dilation it has become (-1, -1) of the smaller one.
If we consider the x coordinates of the point x = -4 has reduced down to -1 therefore scale factor = side of small triangle/side of the large triangle = (2 + 1)/(2 + 4) = 3/6 = 1/2
Therefore Option B. 1/2 is the answer.
Hakima saves 560. Divide the 336 by 3. you get 112 so you multiply that by 5
See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.
6 / (2/5) = 15
It should take the nail 15 minutes to crawl 6 meters.
