PQR has vertices at P(2, 4), Q(3, 8) and R(5, 4). A similarity transformation maps PQR to ABC, whose vertices are A(2, 4), B(5.5

, 18), and C(12.5, 4). What is the scale factor of the dilation in the similarity transformation?

Use Pythagorean Theorem to calculate length of sides 

PQ = √(1^2 + 4^2) = √(17) 
QR = √(2^2 + 4^2) = √(20) 
RP = √(3^2 + 0^2) = √(9) 

AB = √(3.5^2 + 14^2) = √(208.25) 
BC = √(7^2 + 14^2) = √(245) 
CA = √(10.5^2 + 0^2) = √(110.25) 

A similarity transformation will maintain the relationship of sides: the smallest side of one triangle should correspond to the shortest side of the other triangle (and so on). 

Ratio of lengths (transformed/original) 

shortest with shortest 
CA/RP = √(110.25)/√(9) = 10.5/3 = 3.5 
middle 
AB/PQ = √(208.25)/√(17) = √(208.25/17) = √(12.25) = 3.5 
longest 
<span>BC/QR = √(245)/√(20) = √(12.25) = 3.5</span>

Hello!

Question 6:
To find the area of the pennant, we need to multiply the length by the width. 
12 x 18 = area
12 x 18 = 216
The answer is 216 square inches.

Question 7:
The perimeter of the square is 24cm and the area is 36 square cm.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 30cm and the area is 50 square cm. 
They have different perimeters and different areas.

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

Steps for multiplying the given binomial and trinomial (2x-3)\times (5x^{2}-2x+7) are:

Step 1: 2x\times (5x^{2}-2x+7)-3 \times (5x^{2}-2x+7)

Step 2: 10x^{3}-4x^{2}+14x-15x^{2}+6x-21

Step 3: 10x^{3}-19x^{2}+20x-21
