That would be B.
The set of points are all on the line which is a bisector.
Answer:
a) 1/2; reduction
b) 5/4; enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.
a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction
__
b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement
The triangle cannot be made.
Solution:
Given sides of a triangle are 8 ft, 20 ft and 8 ft.
<u>To determine if the triangle can be made:</u>
Let us first define the triangle inequality theorem.
Triangle inequality theorem:
The sum of the lengths of the any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Using this theorem, we can determine if the triangle can be made or not.
8 ft + 20 ft = 28 ft > 8 ft
20 ft + 8 ft = 28 ft > 8 ft
8 ft + 8 ft = 16 ft < 20 ft
Here the sum of the two sides is less than 20 ft.
This is not satisfy the triangle inequality theorem.
Therefore, the triangle cannot be made.
