Answer:

   33 1/3 percent smaller

Step-by-step explanation:


The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.

a = b + b*.5

a = b(1.5)

Divide by 1.5

a/1.5 = b

2/3a =b



We want to find (a-b)/a  to find the percent decrease

                           (a-2/3a)/a *100percent

                             (1/3a)/a* 100 percent

                                  1/3 * 100 percent

                                     33 1/3 percent smaller

What is true about the dilation? A large parallelogram is the pre-image and a smaller parallelogram is the image. It has a scale
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

- It is a reduction with a scale factor between 0 and 1.

- It is an enlargement with a scale factor greater than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Dilation is defined as a transformation of an image in which the size on this image changes but its shape does not change.

2. In dilation, to obtain the new dimensions of the image you must multiply the dimensions of the original image by a number called "Scale factor".

3. When the scale factor is greater than 1 it is an enlargement and when this is between 0 and 1, it is a reduction.
