Select the correct answer. A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertice

s at A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). The origin is the center of dilation. What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answer:

* The scale factor of the dilation is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about dilation

- A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.

- It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the

 figure does not change.

- The scale factor, measures how much larger or smaller

 the image will be

- If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger

- If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller

* In the problem

- The vertices of the triangle is A (0 , 0) , B (0 , 4) , C (6 , 0)

  and its image A' is (0 , 0) , (0 , 10) , (15 , 0)

∵ 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5

∵ 15 ÷ 6 = 2.5

∴ The scale factor is 2.5

∵ 2.5 > 1

∴ The image of the triangle will be larger

* The scale factor is 2.5

The measure of two opposite interior angles of a triangle are and. The exterior angle of the0x−14x+4triangle measures. Solve for
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Restructured question:

The measure of two opposite interior angles of a triangle are x−14 and x+4. The exterior angle of the triangle measures 3x-45 . Solve for the measure of the exterior angle.

First you must know that the sum of interior angle of a triangle is equal to the exterior angle

Interior angles = x−14 and x+4

Sum of interior angles = x-14 + x + 4

Sum of interior angles = 2x - 10

Exterior angle = 3x - 45

Equating both:

2x - 10 = 3x - 45

Collect like terms;

2x - 3x = -45 + 10

-x = -35

x = 35

Get the exterior angle:

Exterior angle =   3x - 45

Exterior angle = 3(35) - 45

Exterior angle = 105 - 45

Exterior angle = 60

Hence the measure of the exterior angle is 60 degrees

<em>Note that the functions of the interior and exterior angles are assumed. Same calculation can be employed for any function given</em>

What are the steps to solving this problem K + 8\5 = 1k
DaniilM [7]

-- Subtract K from each side of the equation.

8/5 = 0

-- There is no value for K that can make this a true statement. So the original equation has no solution.

If c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle,find the missing side. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. c=sqrt(155), b=s
Lunna [17]
A^2 + 31 = 155  - I squared each of b and c for those numbers
a^2 = 155 - 31
a^2 = 124
a = 4 * sqrt(31)
