Answer:

x = 2.5

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the two figure are the image and pre-image of a dilation.

Considering the left sided triangle is original and right sided triangle ( smaller one) is the image.

As one of the sides of the left triangle (original figure) is 4 in. And the corresponding length of the side on the right triangle (image of the figure) is 2 in.

It means the image of the side (2 in) is obtained when the side (4 in) of the original object is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. In other words, the side of the image (2 in) is obtained multiplying the side (4 in) of original figure by 1/2. i.e. 4/2 = 2 in

Lets determine the missing side of the right side triangle by the same rule.

As the original object has one of the sides is 5 in and the corresponding side of the image has x in. As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. so the missing side of x will be: x = 5/2 = 2.5

So, the value of x will be 2.5

Similarly, the original object has one of the sides with length (y + 1 in). As the As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. As the corresponding length of the side of the image triangle is 3 in.

y + 1 = 2(3) ∵ 3 in (image side) is multiplied by 2

y + 1 = 6

y = 6 - 1

y = 5

So, the value of y = 5

Therefore,

x = 2.5

y = 5

A circle is a geometric object that has symmetry about the vertical and horizontal lines through its center. When the circle is a unit circle (of radius 1) centered on the origin of the x-y plane, points in the first quadrant can be reflected across the x- or y- axes (or both) to give points in the other quadrants.

That is, if the terminal ray of an angle intersects the unit circle in the first quadrant, the point of intersection reflected across the y-axis will give an angle whose measure is the original angle subtracted from the measure of a half-circle. Since the measure of a half-circle is π radians, the reflection of the angle π/6 radians will be the angle π-π/6 = 5π/6 radians.

Reflecting 1st-quadrant angles across the origin into the third quadrant adds π radians to their measure. Reflecting them across the x-axis into the 4th quadrant gives an angle whose measure is 2π radians minus the measure of the original angle.
