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

A car is traveling up a steep ramp to a parking garage.the ramp is 445 feet long and rises a vertical distance of 80 feet. What
Alecsey [184]
With the information provided in the problem, we can create a right triangle with the ramp as its hypotenuse, and  the vertical rise as its opposite side from its angle of elevation.
Let E be the angle of elevation from the car to the end of the ramp. We now know that the hypotenuse of our triangle measures 445 feet, and the opposite side measures 80 feet, so we need a trig function that relates our angle of elevation with the hypotenuse and the opposite side. That function is sine:
sine(E)= \frac{80}{445}
E=arcsine( \frac{80}{445} )
E=10.36

We can conclude that the angle of elevation from the car to the end of the ramp is 10.36°.
