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:

5/3 or 1.66 or 1 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

30/18 you can simply it to the factor of 6 or use a calc

5/3 if the person asks in fraction form and if they say that it can't be an improper fraction then it is 1 2/3 or get 1.6666 in calcutor

telo118 [61]

Answer:

48 months

Step-by-step explanation:

first take how much you need and add how much you want to leave, so 2500+500=3000. Then delete 600 from 3000, which will give you $2400. divide $2400 by 50 which gives you 48. it will take 48 months to get enough money to purchase a car at $2500 and leave $500 in the account.
