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

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

  V = a³/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the original cube is the cube of the side length:

  V = a³

When the side length is reduced to half its former value, the new volume is ...

  V = (a/2)³ = a³/2³

  V = a³/8 . . . . volume of the new cube

How do I find these angle measures?
ch4aika [34]
The measure of angle 1 is 75 degrees because it is a corresponding angle with the one given of 75 degrees
the measure of angle 2 is 105 degrees because it forms a supplementary angle with the one next to it that is 75 degrees. (this means they add up to 180 degrees.

What is the slope of the diagonal line on the larger triangle? Explain how you found it.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: 2/3 is the slope I think and for the same slope thing here is my answer:

We can use similarly of triangles in this case there will be a formation of 2 pairs equal ( angles formed by the y-axis on the parallel lines) angles between triangles formed as the y-axis lines are parallel. So,the slope is the same for both.
