To know if a dilation is an expansion ( bigger) r a contraction ( smaller) ignore the negative sign.

If the number is larger than 1, it is an expansion, if the number is smaller than 1 it is a contraction.

-4 is an expansion

2.5 is an expansion

2/3 is a contraction

-3/4 is a contraction

For number one, the answer will be C because the ratio between the side and the perimeter of the Pentagon will be 1/5 or 2/10 or 3/15. For number 2, we know that the Pentagon had 5 sides, and the side of it is 8, so the perimeter of this Pentagon will be 8+8+8+8+8 or 40 inches, which is C. Hope it help!

If y varies directly as x^2 and y=12 when x=2, find y when x=5

Shkiper50 [21]

$y=ax^2\\\\y=12\ \ \ and\ \ \ x=2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 12=a\cdot 2^2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ a= \frac{4}{12}= \frac{1}{3} \\\\y=\frac{1}{3} x^2\\\\x=5\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y=\frac{1}{3} \cdot5^2=\frac{25}{3} =8\frac{1}{3}$
