By the word "dilation" we mean to say that the dimension of the new triangle is 6 times longer than the dimensions of the former triangle. The ratio between the area of the new triangle and the old one is equal to the square of the ratio of their sides. If we let x be the area of the larger triangle then,
(x / 2/3 cm²) = (6/1)²
The value of x from the equation is 24. Thus, the area of the larger triangle is equal to 24 cm².
Answer:
-1/5 I believe, since you go down one and to the right by 5.
Can you show me a picture of the choices?
And isosceles triangle always equals 180 degrees so to find the value of x what number would you need for the value to be 180
Multiplication was invented to reduce the work involved in repeated addition.
... 88 + 88 + 88 + 88 = 4×88 = 352
352 passengers are carried <em>to</em> the island each day.
_____
Some questions must be answered before we can give a definite answer.
1. If the same person rides twice, are they counted twice?
2. Are passengers on the return trips (<em>from</em> the island) counted?
3. If return trip passengers are counted, is the ferry full on those trips?
4. Does every passenger to the island return the same day?
5. Does any passenger go to the island more than once per day?
