4x² - (2x + 3)²
4x² - (2x + 3)(2x + 3)
4x² - (2x(2x + 3) + 3(2x + 3))
4x² - (2x(2x) + 2x(3) + 3(2x) + 3(3))
4x² - (4x² + 6x + 6x + 9)
4x² - (4x² + 12x + 9)
4x² - 4x² - 12x - 9
-12x - 9
-3(4x) - 3(3)
-3(4x + 3)
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale factor write a ratio from the side length of the small triangle to a corresponding side length of the large triangle.
C'B' has the distance 3 units and CB has the distance 9 units.
The ratio then is 3/9 = 1/3. So the scale factor is 1/3 because it is shrinking the larger triangle to the smaller as shown by the ' marks on the letters.
