Answer:  Reduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry scale factor is resizing of figures.The figure can be the same ,enlarged or reduced.The dilation of the figure depends on the scale factor .

If the scale factor is less than 1 then we have a reduced figure .If the scale factor is 1 we have a same figure and if the scale factor is greater than 1 we have an enlarged figure.

It is given Triangle A’B’C’ is a dilation of triangle ABC about point P with a scale factor of 1÷2.

Hence the dilation is a reduction of the triangle ABC about poing P.

This is a reduction because the scale factor is in between 0 and 1.

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 75 miles per
Alisiya [41]

Let the time = x

Distance = Speed x time

One train is 75x, the other train 85x

Add together to equal total distance:

75x + 85x = 384

Simplify:

160x = 384

Divide both sides by 160:

x = 384 / 160

x = 2.4 hours

EFV and EDW are straight lines.<br>Find the value of x and of y.​
Makovka662 [10]

Answers:

x = 72

y = 83

============================================================

Explanation:

Angle VFG is 50 degrees. The angle adjacent to this is angle EFG which is 180-50 = 130 degrees.

Angle HDW is 77 degrees. The supplementary angle adjacent to this is 180-77 = 103 degrees which is angle EDH.

Pentagon EFGHD has the following five interior angles

  • E = x
  • F = 130
  • G = 170
  • H = 65
  • D = 103

Note that angles F = 130 and D = 103 were angles EFG and EDH we calculated earlier.

For any pentagon, the interior angles always add to 180(n-2) = 180(5-2) = 180*3 = 540 degrees.

This means,

E+F+G+H+D = 540

x+130+170+65+103 = 540

x+468 = 540

x = 72

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

Now focus your attention on triangle THS

We see that the interior angles are

  • T = y
  • H = 65
  • S = 32

The angle H is 65 degrees because it's paired with the other 65 degree angle shown. They are vertical angles.

For any triangle, the angles always add to 180

T+H+S = 180

y+65+32 = 180

y+97 = 180

y = 180-97

y = 83
