1) The scale factor for the dilation is 2/3.
2) The polygon became smaller after the dilation because you are multiplying by a scale factor less than 1.
3) The ratio of the areas is 2/5.
Answer:
They both have area 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the square:
Area of the triangle:
Using the left-side of the triangle as the base, and the height from the left-side to the bottom-right corner:
We know the length of the diagonal is 
as we are using a centimetre grid, so we can create an isosceles triangle with side lengths 1 and our unknown length, we can then use Pythagorean Theorem to work out our unknown side length.
3(n-t) = 3n- 3t
It is you mean about ?
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)
So, 54cm = 2(l+9cm)
=> 54cm = 2l + 18cm
=> 54cm - 18cm = 2l
=> 36cm = 2l
=> 36cm/2 = l
=> 18cm = l
The answer to this equation is 2
