What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Mathematics
1 answer:
dusya [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle ACB is the preimage and triangle DFE is the image.

We need to find the scale factor of the dilation.

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{Side of image}}{\text{Corresponding side of preimage}}

In the given triangles, side AC and DF are corresponding sides.

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{DF}{AC}

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{6}{12}

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is \dfrac{1}{2}.

A piece of land is shaped like a right triangle. Two people start at the right angle at the same time, and walk at the same spee
sweet [91]

Answer:

1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the triangle = A = ¹/₂ab

where a is the distance covered by the first person and b is the distance covered by the second person. since they walk at the same speed, then a = b, so our formula can be changed to A = ¹/₂x²

now we find the derivative of both sides:

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ dx²/dt

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ 2x ⋅ dx/dt

dA/dt = x ⋅ dx/dt = x ⋅ velocity

we are told that x = 5 m, and dA/dt = 5 m²/s

velocity = dA/dt / x

velocity = 5 m²/s / 5 m = 1 m/s

The population of Laredo, Texas, was about 215,500 in 2007. It was about 123,000 in 1990. If we assume that the population growt
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

hello, This can be solved using your standard rise over run slope calculation.  Think of the number of years after 1990 as your input variable.  2007 would be 17 years after 1990, so the "y" variable would be 17.  This is your "run", and it goes in the denominator of your slope calculation.  Then the difference between the 2007 population and the 1990 population would be the "p" variable difference, the "rise", which is 92500.  Dividing, you will get 5441.17.  Since we're talking about humans, we can't have a decimal, so let's round up to 5442.

 

Using the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = ax + b), we will say that p = 5442y + 123000.  Do you know why we add the 123000?  It's because that's the starting value, which is equivalent to the "intercept" in the slope-intercept form.

 

Hope this helps.
