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}.

Fran works due north of home. Her husband Juan works due east. By the time Fran is 5 miles from home the distance between them i
lana66690 [7]
If I understood the question correctly, let's set the coordinates (5,5) from the origin (the home). To find the longer side of the triangle, (the distance between the husband and wife), we use A squared * B squared= C squared. 25*25=625, the square root of 625 is 25. So the distance between the husband and wife would be 25 miles. Therefore, one mile less than their distance would be 24 miles. To answer your question, <em><u>Juan is 24 miles from home.</u></em>

The estimated velocity v (in miles per hour) of a car at the end of a drag race is v=234\sqrt[3]{p/w} , where p is the horsepowe
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

299 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

v=\frac{234}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{p}{w}}}

v=\frac{234}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{1311}{2744}}}

v\approx299

Therefore, the velocity of the car at the end of a drag race is 299 miles per hour
