Question: Consider the similarity transformation of ΔABC to produce ΔEDF.

Mathematics

german3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have triangle  ΔABC

step 1

Rotate 90 degrees clockwise ΔABC about point C to obtain ΔA'B'C'

Remember that

A rotation is a rigid transformation

An object and its rotation are the same shape and size, but the figures may be turned in different directions

so

ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' are congruent

ΔABC≅ ΔA'B'C

step 2

Dilate the triangle ΔA'B'C' to obtain triangle ΔEDF

Remember that

A dilation is a non rigid transformation

A dilation produces similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding angles is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

Find the scale factor of the dilation

The scale factor is equal to the ratio of corresponding sides

In this problem

Let

z ----> the scale factor

so

z=\frac{ED}{AB}=\frac{DF}{BC}=\frac{EF}{AC}

Multiply the length sides of triangle ΔA'B'C' by the scale factor z to obtain the length sides of triangle ΔEDF

Note: in this problem the scale factor z is less than 1

That means ----> the dilation is a reduction

The distance from around the Earth along a given latitude can be found using the formula C=2∏r cos L , where r is the radius of
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The distance reduces to 0 as you go from 0° to 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to find the distance using different values of L and check the trend of the values.

Given C=2×pi×r×cos L where L is the latitude  in ° and r is the radius in miles then;

Taking r=3960 and L=0° ,

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 0°

C=2×\pi×3960×1

C=7380\pi

Taking L=45° and r=3960 then;

C= 2×\pi×3960×cos 45°

C=5600.28\pi

Taking L=60° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 60°

C=3960\pi

Taking L=90° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 90°

C=2×\pi×3960×0

C=0

Conclusion

The values of the distance from around the Earth along a given latitude decreases with increase in the value of L when r is constant
