Let's start with a picture.

We see RST is smaller, and BC is parallel to but in the opposite direction to its corresponding segment ST. Both have slope -1.

If we look at the difference of points (technically called vectors but we don't have to go there) we get

C-B=(-2,2)

T-S=(1,-1)

Without further calculation we can see T-S is half the length of C-B.

The problem asks for a dilation followed by a reflection. We know the dilation scale is k=1/2 because the new triangle is half the size.

After dilation we get A'B'C':

A'(3,2), B'(-1,0), C'(-2,1)

We see now we need a reflection that flips the coordinates x and y. That's the +45° line through the origin, namely y=x.

Answer: k=1/2, y=x

Answer:

see second attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔRST is smaller, so the scale factor must be less than 1. The only available answer choice is k = 1/2.

When you scale ΔABC by 1/2, you get A'(3, 2), B'(-1, 0), C'(-2, 1). Comparing these coordinates to R, S, T, we find the x-, and y-values are swapped. This indicates a reflection across the line y=x.

____

In the graph, ΔA'B'C' is purple, ΔRST is blue.

How do you find the percent of a number?

Tom [10]

Answer:

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

Step-by-step explanation:

How to Calculate Percentages

There are many formulas for percentage problems. You can think of the most basic as X/Y = P x 100. The formulas below are all mathematical variations of this formula.

Let's explore the three basic percentage problems. X and Y are numbers and P is the percentage:

Find P percent of X

Find what percent of X is Y

Find X if P percent of it is Y

Read on to learn more about how to figure percentages.

1. How to calculate percentage of a number. Use the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

Example: What is 10% of 150?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y

Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10

Substitute 0.10 for 10% in the equation: 10% * 150 = Y becomes 0.10 * 150 = Y

Do the math: 0.10 * 150 = 15

Y = 15

So 10% of 150 is 15

Double check your answer with the original question: What is 10% of 150? Multiply 0.10 * 150 = 15

2. How to find what percent of X is Y. Use the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

Example: What percent of 60 is 12?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

X is 60, Y is 12, so the equation is 12/60 = P%

Do the math: 12/60 = 0.20

Important! The result will always be in decimal form, not percentage form. You need to multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Converting 0.20 to a percent: 0.20 * 100 = 20%

So 20% of 60 is 12.

Double check your answer with the original question: What percent of 60 is 12? 12/60 = 0.20, and multiplying by 100 to get percentage, 0.20 * 100 = 20%

3. How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Example: 25 is 20% of what number?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X

Y is 25, P% is 20, so the equation is 25/20% = X

Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.

Converting 20% to a decimal: 20/100 = 0.20

Substitute 0.20 for 20% in the equation: 25/0.20 = X

Do the math: 25/0.20 = X

X = 125

So 25 is 20% of 125

Double check your answer with the original question: 25 is 20% of what number? 25/0.20 = 125

Remember: How to convert a percentage to a decimal

Remove the percentage sign and divide by 100

15.6% = 15.6/100 = 0.156

Remember: How to convert a decimal to a percentage

Multiply by 100 and add a percentage sign

0.876 = 0.876 * 100 = 87.6%

Which statements about the cylinder are true? Select two

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The radius of the cylinder is (1/2)x units

The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/4)πx2 square units

The height of the cylinder is 4x units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

A cylinder with a base diameter of x units has a volume of πx3 cubic units.

Which statements about the cylinder are true? Check all that apply.

(1) The radius of the cylinder is (1/2)x units.

(2) The radius of the cylinder is 2x units.

(3) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/4)πx2 square units.

(4) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/2)πx2 square units.

(5) The height of the cylinder is 2x units.

(6) The height of the cylinder is 4x units

we know that

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

we have

$r=\frac{x}{2}\ units$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

$V=\pi x^{3}\ units^3$

substitute the given values in the formula of volume

$\pi x^3=\pi (\frac{x}{2})^{2}h$

solve for h

simplify

$x=(\frac{1}{4})h$

$h=4x\ units$

<u>Verify each statement</u>

(1) The radius of the cylinder is (1/2)x units

The statement is true

see the explanation

(2) The radius of the cylinder is 2x units.

The statement is false

Because, the radius of the cylinder is x/2 units

(3) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/4)πx2 square units

The statement is true

Because, the area of the cylinder's base is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

$r=\frac{x}{2}\ units$

substitute

$A=\pi (\frac{x}{2})^{2}$

$A=\frac{\pi x^2}{4}\ units^2$

(4) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/2)πx2 square units.

The statement is false

Because, the area of the cylinder's base is equal to

$A=\frac{\pi x^2}{4}\ units^2$

see the part (3)

(5) The height of the cylinder is 2x units.

The statement is false

Because, the height of the cylinder is 4x units (see the explanation)

(6) The height of the cylinder is 4x units

The statement is true

see the explanation
