The rule for dilation (scale factor k) about the origin is given by:
(x,y)->(kx,ky)

The scale factor k can be obtained from any one of the ratios:
scale\, factor\, =\, k\, = \frac{OD'}{OD}=\frac{OE'}{OE}=\frac{OF'}{OF}=\frac{OG'}{OG}=\frac{1}{2}

Answer:

The scale factor of the dilation is \frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is clear that the vertices of figure DEFG are D(4,8), E(8,8), F(8,6), G(4,6).

The vertices of image D'E'F'G' are D'(2,4), E'(4,4), F'(4,3), G'(2,3).

From the figure it is clear that DF=4 units and D'F'=2 units.

The scale factor is proportion of corresponding sides of image and preimage.

k=(D'F')/(DF)

Substitute DF=4 units and D'F'=2 units.

k=(2)/(4)

k = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore the scale factor of the dilation is \frac{1}{2}.

Area of base is given

Area of rectangle → length × width

\left(2\cdot 166.28\right)+\left(8\cdot 13\cdot 6\right)=956.56

How many ways can Hannah give three of her eight T-shirts to her younger sister?
prisoha [69]
If Hannah gives her younger sister 3 shirts, it does not matter what order she hands them to her. No matter the order, it will still be the same group of 3 shirt. Since order is not important this problem can be solved using a combination.

Specifically we are asked to find 8C3 (sometimes called "8 choose 3"). This is a fraction. In the numerator we start with 8 and count down 3 numbers. In the denominator we start with 3 and count all the way down to 1. Thus we obtain,

\frac{(8)(7)(6)}{(3)(2)(1)}=(8)(7)=56

Y ^(-2/3)^-6 = y^12/3 = y^4

x^(1/2)^ -6 = x^-3 = 1 x^3

so the answer is y^4 * 1 /x^3  = y^4 / x^3
