Polygon ABCD is dilated, rotated, and translated to form polygon A′B′C′D′. The endpoints of AB are at (0, -7) and (8, 8), and th

e endpoints of AB are at (6, -6) and (2, 1.5). What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Rotation and translation are rigid transformations, they don't change figure sizes. Dilation change figure sizes increasing or decreasing them by scale factor.

First, find AB and A'B' by the formula:

AB=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}= \sqrt{(8-0)^2+(8-(-7))^2}=\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=\sqrt{64+225}=\sqrt{289}=17,\\ \\A'B'=\sqrt{(x_{B'}-x_{A'})^2+(y_{B'}-y_{A'})^2}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(1.5-(-6))^2}=\sqrt{4^2+7.5^2}=\sqrt{16+56.25}=\sqrt{72.25}=8.5.

As you can see AB=2A'B'. This means that the segment AB was decreased twice to form segment A'B'. Then the scale factor is 1/2.

1 . What is the distance between the two points. (0,5 1,3), (-0,4, -1,3) ?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 = 0.5 x2 = -0.4 y1 = 1.3 y2 = -1.3

\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2}+(y2 - y1)^{2}

\sqrt{(-0.4 - 0.5)^{2}+(-1.3 - 1.3)^{2}

=2.75
