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

Calculate the perimeter and area of the following square if a= 19
Licemer1 [7]

Formula for perimeter of a square: P = 4a

Formula for area of a square: A = a²

a is given as:

19

Plug this value for a into the above formulas to solve for perimeter and area.

P = 4a

P = 4(19)

P = 76

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A = a²

A = 19²

A = 361

Answer:

P = 76 units; A = 361 units².

What is the surface area of a coke bottle? <br>how do you figure it out?
svetlana [45]
Can or bottle? A can will be the calculation for the surface area of a cylinder which is A= 2 \pi rh+2 \pi  r^{2} if r is the radius of the circle on the top and bottom of the can and h is the height of the can. A can is basically two circles and a big rectangle. For a bottle I don't know there are too many components and no numbers to solve for that

WILL MARK BRAINLIST!!What is the measure of one interior angle in a regular pentagon?
never [62]
The answer is 108°

A regular pentagon has all its five sides equal and all five angles are also equal. Hence, the measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon is given by the below formula. Measure of each interior angle = [(n – 2) × 180°]/n = 540°/5 = 108°.
