Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has one pair of parallel sides and is a trapezoid.

Each lower base angle is supplementary to the upper base angle on the same side, thus

15x + 30 + 10x = 180 , that is

25x + 30 = 180 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

25x = 150 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x = 6

Also

3y + 18 + 90 = 180 , that is

3y + 108 = 180 ( subtract 108 from both sides )

3y = 72 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 24

-------------------------------------------------------------------

2x, 90 and x lie on a straight line and sum to 180 , thus

2x + 90 + x = 180 , that is

3x + 90 = 180 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

3x = 90 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 30

------------

2y and x are alternate angles and congruent , thus

2y = x = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 15

What is the scale factor in the dilation if the coordinates of A prime are (–7, 6) and the coordinates of C prime are (–4, 3)?

olchik [2.2K]

Option A: $\frac{1}{3}$ is the dilation factor

Explanation:

The Coordinates of the square ABCD are A(-21,18), B(-12,18), C(-12,9), D(-21,9)

Also, the coordinates of the square A'B'C'D' are A'(–7, 6), B'(-4,6), C'(-4,3), D'(-8,3)

Now, we shall determine the scale factor in the dilation if the coordinates A' and C'.

Since, the dilation is the enlargement of the image in the same shape but different size.

To determine the scale factor, let us divide A'C' by AC

Thus, we have,

$\begin{aligned}A^{\prime} C^{\prime} &=\sqrt{(-4+7)^{2}+(3-6)^{2}} \\&=\sqrt{3^{2}+(-3)^{2}} \\&=\sqrt{9+9} \\&=\sqrt{18}\\&=3\sqrt{2} \end{aligned}$

Also,

$\begin{aligned}A C &=\sqrt{(-12+21)^{2}+(9-18)^{2}} \\&=\sqrt{9^{2}+(-9)^{2}} \\&=\sqrt{81+81} \\&=\sqrt{162}\\&=9\sqrt{2} \end{aligned}$

Dividing A'C' by AC, we have,

$\frac{A'C'}{AC} =\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{9\sqrt{2}} =\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, $\frac{1}{3}$ is the dilation factor

Describe how you would write 5.04 X 10^6 in standard form.

Margarita [4]

You move the decimal point 6 places to the right because the exponent is positive.

5.04 x 10^6 in standard form is 5040000.
