Answer:
D, 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
10+8=18 4/3x18=24
Claim: The measures of
and
are equal
Answer: True
Explanation: Dilations preserve the shape of an image, so this means the angles are kept the same whether you shrink or enlarge the preimage.
====================================================
Claim: The coordinates of A and A' are the same
Answer: True
Explanation: The phrasing "dilating about point A" means that point A is the center of the universe, so to speak, in terms of this dilation operation. Point A is the fixed point that does not move while every other point does move. Because the scale factor is 2/3, which is less than 1, this means every other point comes closer to point A. So something like segment AB will get shorter.
The remaining area that the grass will cover will be given by:
Area=[area of rectangle]-[area of the triangle]
area of rectangle will be:
A1=length*width
=20*8
=160 square feet
The area of the triangle will be:
A2=1/2absin theta
since the triangle is equilateral, all the angles are equal and the size of each angle is 60°. Thus the area will be:
A2=1/2*5*5sin 60
=18.3
thus the remaining area of the grass will be:
Area=160-18.3
=149.7 square feet
