Which of the following describes the image of a figure after a dilation that has a scale factor between zero and one?

g100num [7]

Answer:

When a figure or shape is dilated , the size of the figure either enlarges or shrank without changing its actual shape.

Shape or figure after dilation is similar to original figure.

If the scale or factor of dilation is greater than 1 the shape enlarges.

If the scale factor lies between 0<scale factor<1, then the figure shrinks i.e size reduces.

So out of all the options given →It has the same shape as the original and is smaller than the original figure.

A ladder that is 13 meters long is leaning against a wall. The distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 7 meters

Maksim231197 [3]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation that is used to model the length of ladder in terms of x is:

$x^2-7x-60=0$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 meters and the other two legs are x meters and (x-7) meters.

where x is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

and (x-7) is the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Hence, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:

$13^2=x^2+(x-7)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\169=x^2+x^2+49-14x\\\\i.e.\\\\169=2x^2-14x+49\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x+49-169=0\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x-120=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-7x-60=0$
