Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

======================================================

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.

Plot the image of D under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 2
ElenaW [278]

(-6,-4)

If you dilate a point, (c,d) about (a,b) by a scale factor by k. You'll going to subtract each coordinates where the point will be dilated about (a,b) from the point (c,d) and then multiply them by k. This would be the formula if you want: (k(c -a), k(b -d))

Let's say F is the dilation of D about the origin or (0,0) then the x coordinate of F would be

x =  2( - 3 - 0) \\ x = 2( - 3) \\ x =  - 6

This would be the y coordinate of F:

y = 2( - 2 - 0) \\ y = 2( - 2) \\ y =  - 4

Thus the coordinates of F is (-6,-4)

A basket contains 11 pieces of fruit: 4 apples, 5 oranges, and 2 bananas. Jonas takes a piece of fruit at random from the basket
gulaghasi [49]
The answer is 9/11. Total outcomes = 11 favorable outcomes = 5 Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes Probability that Jonas will get an orange = 5/11 Total outcomes = 10 (because 1 fruit is already taken by Jonas) favorable outcomes = 4 Probability Beth will get an apple = 4/10 = 2/5<span>

Permutations!!
Advocard [28]

<span>Since the problem specifically stated that the people gather around the table, therefore we assume a circular table hence a circular formation of gathering.  Since the arrangement is important therefore we use the permutation.  </span>

nPr = n! / (n – r)!

<span>However before we proceed with our calculation we MUST first affix a reference point since the formation is circle. Imagine that the reference point is the 1st point made when you draw a circle, so it is the both the 0 degrees and the 360 degrees.</span>

Let us say that one of the actors is the reference point. So there are now only 8 actors which places can be interchanged. Since all actors have to sit together, hence the arrangements are:

8P8 = 8! / (8 – 8)! = 40,320

Now since there are 13 total people, therefore the arrangements of the other 4 people are:

4P4 = 4! / (4 – 4)! = 24

 

We multiply all to get the total number of arrangements:

<span>Total arrangements = 40320 * 24 * 1                        (1 is the reference point)</span>

<span>Total arrangements = 967,680</span>
