How do I simplify this?

Don't get too involved in the 'simplify' part just yet.
It doesn't mean make the problem easier.
It means that when you have the answer, make sure it's in simplest form.
That's why it says "Simplify your answer".
Notice that that's the 2nd instruction.
There's nothing to simplify until you have an answer.

The first thing you have to do here is find the area of a triangle.
Do you remember that formula ? 
I'll bet you do.
The area of a triangle is            (1/2) · (length of the base) · (height)  .

The height and the length of the base are given, right there
in the picture.  Take those, and use them to find the area.

Once you've multiplied the binomials, don't forget about the (1/2).

Finally, you have a trinomial for an answer.
Put the big sweet cherry on top:  Factor it !
I think that's the 'simplify' part.

You may be surprised.
I was when I worked it out just now ... just for you.

Find the translation rule and the scale factor of the dilation that transforms Ol to Ol'.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

  C  (x, y) -> (x + 7, y + 8); scale factor = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation can be found by subtracting the coordinates of the original center from those of the center of the image. The scale factor will be the ratio of the radii.

__

<h3>translation</h3>

We note the center coordinates are I(-3, -6) and I'(4, 2). Then the translation is ...

  I' -I = (4, 2) -(-3, -6) = (4 +3, 2 +6) = (7, 8)

  (x, y) ⇒ (x +7, y +8)

<h3>scale factor</h3>

The radius of each circle can be found by counting the grid squares from the center to the circle. It works best to do this along a horizontal or vertical line.

The radius of circle I is 2; the radius of circle I' is 6. The scale factor is ...

  scale factor = 6/2 = 3
