<h3>Answer: D. regular hexagon</h3>

A hexagon is composed of 6 congruent equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle has interior angle of 60 degrees. Adding 6 such angles together gets you to 360 degrees. So we've done one full rotation and covered every bit of the plane surrounding a given point. Extend this out and you'll be able to cover the plane. A similar situation happens with rectangles as well (think of a grid, or think of tiles on the wall or floor)

In contrast, a regular pentagon has interior angle 108 degrees. This is not a factor of 360, so there is no way to place regular pentagons to have them line up and not be a gap or overlap. This is why regular pentagons do not tessellate the plane. The same can be aside about decagons and octagons as well.

Find the scale factor of the dilation. Then tell whether it is enlargement or reduction.​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

  a) 1/2; reduction

  b) 5/4; enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.

Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.

a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction

__

b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement
