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>

What is -2¾ as a decimal​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

-2\frac{3}{4} is equal -2.75 as a decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

to take -2\frac{3}{4} to decimal, we take -2 and put point behind it. by doing so, \frac{3}{4}becomes 300/4=75

Then we have -2.75

$800 at 7% compounded annually for 2 years
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$115.92

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate compound interest, which Amount - Principal but we dont know the value for amount so we find the amount first by using the formula.

               A =  P ( 1 +   <u>R</u> ) ^n

                                 100      

where p = principal    ($800)            

a =  amount       (?)

r =  interest rate    (7%)

n = time ( no of years)    (2)

A  =  800   ( 1   +   <u>7 </u>) ^2

                          100                  A = 800 ( 1 + 0.07) ^2

                                                  A = 800 ( 1.07)^2   = 800 ( 1.1449)

A = 915.92.

We then find compound interest with:    

C = Amount - Principal   =   $915.92  -  $800    =    $115.92
