The scale factor would be 2, since the image is 2 times bigger than the pre-image.

Hope this helps! :) I did this last year, so this is the correct answer! ;)

Answer: The answer is 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the scale factor for the dilation of a triangle shown in the figure.

The triangle ABC is dilated to form the triangle A'B'C'.

To find the scale factor, we need to divide the length of one side of the dilated triangle A'B'C' by the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle ABC.

From the figure, we note that

AB = 5 units and A'B' = 10 units.

Therefore, the scale factor will be

$S_f=\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{10}{5}=2.$

Thus, the answer is 2.

A new car sells for $27,500. The value of the car decreases by 14% annually. You want to sell the car when it's worth about $400

Answer: 13 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price decreases by 14% anually

To find the decimal form, you have 14%/100% = 0.14

So, the year zero, the price is $27,500

After one year, the price is:

P = $27,500 - 0.14*$27500 = $27,500*(0.86)

After the second year, the price is:

P = $27,500*(0.86)^2

and so on, so we want to find x such that:

P = $27,500*(0.86)^x = $4000

0.86^x = $4000/$27,500

Now, using the natural logaritm rule:

a^x = b

x = ln(a)/ln(b)

x = ln($4000/$27,500)/ln(0.86) = 12.8

We can round it up to 13, so after 13 years the price of the car is about $4000

The prisms and two nets shown below:<br><br> Plzzz answer part A B and C for BRILLIANT ANSWER

Arlecino [84]

Part A: Net A is correct
Net B is incorrect because de triangular sides do not close the opening left in both sides.

Part B: AB=3 in., BC=5in., CD=8.6in.

Part C: The surface area of the prism is the area of the the big rectangle in the net + the area of the 2 triangles

Area of the big rectangle
8.6• ( 3+4+5)= 103.2 in ^2
Area of the triangles
If we get the 2 trangles together along their longest side we get another rectangle
3•4 =12 in^2

Surface area of prism is 103.2+12=115.2 in^2
