A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertices at A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), a

nd C′(15, 0). The origin is the center of dilation. What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{A'C'}{AC}.

Since

  • AB=4;
  • A'B'=10;
  • AC=6;
  • A'C'=15,

then the scale factor of the dilation is

k=\dfrac{10}{4}=\dfrac{15}{6}=2.5.

Solving the following system using the elimination of substitution method.<br> 5a+3b=11<br> -2a+3=b
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

a = -2

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5a+3b=11

-2a+3=b

substitute for b:

5a + 3(-2a + 3) = 11

5a -6a + 9 = 11

-a = 2

a = -2

b = 7

Please help ASAP thanks

Answer:

x = 2.5 inches. Or

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Length: 7 + 2x

Width: 5 + 2x

Note that you have to add x at each end of the picture and onto each part of the width.

The entire area is 120 square inches.

Formula

L*W = Area

(2x + 7)(2x + 5) = 120

Solution

4x^2 + 10x + 14x + 35 = 120                Subtract 120 from both sides. Add xs

4x^2 + 24x + 35 - 120 = 0

4x^2 + 24x - 85 = 0                             Factor

(2x + 17)(2x - 5)

2x + 17 has no meaning. It will give -  8.5 which is not possible.

2x - 5 =0

2x = 5                                                  Divide by 2

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

Note: I don't know which one the computer is looking for.
