Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEC, ∠B ≅ ∠E and 3DE = 2BC
<h3>What is
transformation?</h3>
Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are <em>rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.</em>
Dilation is the increase or decrease in the size of a figure by a scale factor.
Right triangle ABC is reflected over AC, then dilated by a scale factor of 2/3 to form triangle DEC, hence:
Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEC, corresponding angles are congruent (∠B ≅ ∠E) and DE = (2/3)BC i.e. 3DE = 2BC

8 - 7x^2 + 3 = 4x^2 - 1
8+3-7x^2 = 4x^2-1
11-7x^2 = 4x^2-1
B. Commutative property of addition
We can swap numbers and obtain the same results.
In this case, we swapped 8+3 and added them.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4^2+x^2 = 15^2
x^2 = 15^2 - 4^2 = 225-16 = 209
x=sqrt(209)
x = 14.46
