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}.

a cone shaped container has a height of 9 inches and a diameter or 2in it is filled with a liquid that is worth $2 per cubic inc
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$18.84

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a cone is (1/3)pi*r^2*h

With all variables plugged in we get an area of (1/3)*3.14*(1^2)*9, or 9.42 cubic inches. With a value of 2$/in^3, we get 2*9.42, or 18.84.

Therefore, the value of the container is $18.84.
