A line segment has endpoints P (3, 6) and Q (12, 18) and is dilated so that its new endpoints are P’ (2, 4) and Q’ (8, 12). What

is the scale factor? If the length of PQ is 15, what is the length of P’Q’?

Answer:

Scale Factor ≈ 0.67

P'Q' Length = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor, a relationship must be found between the original points, and the dilated points. To do this, simply divide the new points by the old points.

P to P' : \frac{2}{3}=0.6667 AND \frac{4}{6}=0.6667

Q to Q' : \frac{8}{12}=0.6667 AND \frac{12}{18}=0.6667

Therefore, the scale factor is 0.6667 ≈ 0.67

The length of P'Q' can be calculated with the distance formula:

d^{2}=(y_{1}-y_{2} )^{2} +(x_{1}-x_{2} )^{2} \\d^{2} =(4-12)^{2} + (2-8)^{2} \\d^{2} =(-8)^{2} +(-6)^{2} \\d^{2} =64+36\\d=\sqrt{100} =10

Alternatively, you could multiply the length of PQ with the scale factor to find P'Q':

15*0.6667=10

It should be 14, because 8 - 2 = 6 and 12 - 4 = 8

Answer:

24 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

a polygon cannot have a decimal number of sides, it is impossible

since the sum of these exterior angles in a regular polygon must equal 360 degrees. The maximum number of sides that would yield exterior angles that are integers is 360

because 360 ÷ 360 = 1.

There are over 2,700 species of snakes .600 species are venomous .what would the fraction of species that are not venomous be as
Radda [10]
So lets just assume first that there are a total of 2700 species of snakes all in all. Out of the 2700 snakes, 600 are known to be venomous. So first of all, let's get the number of the non venomous ones. Subtract 2700 and 600 and you will end up with 2100. So there are a total of 2100 non venomous snakes. So the fraction of the non venomous snakes will be 2100/2700. In its simplified form it is 7/9. In its decimal form (just divide it), you will get an answer of 0.7777.......

What is the equation of a horizontal line that has a y-intercept of 3?<br> a. b. <br> c. d. -1/6
Mama L [17]
Y = 3...I believe in standard form, this would be written as : y = 0x + 3

y = an integer is a horizontal line...and if u have x = an integer, it would be a vertical line
