Finding Side Lengths

Mathematics
1 answer:
zheka24 [161]3 years ago
6 0

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.

so

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

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

SY = 16

XY = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

15/20 = 12/SY

15SY = 240

SY = 16

15/20 = 9/XY

15XY = 180

XY = 12

Which graph represents the function f(x)=
zhenek [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

you don't show us the choices.

anyway, the real graph must be similar to the one you are showing, as it goes to - and + infinity for x = 2.

because the denominator "x-2" will be 0 for x = 2.

but the horizontal limits are both y = +3 (and not 0).

because (3x-2)/(x-2) goes more and more to 3/1 the larger (or smaller in the - direction) x gets.

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. Jayden's Work Sheridan's Work a2 + b2 = c2 a2 + b
Svetlanka [38]

No, they are both incorrect by my understanding of your question use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 =c^, therefore, 7^2 +x^2 = 13^2 or 49+x=169 then solve normally 169-49=120  √120 =5

The answer is 5
