Answer:
The answer is Perpendicular
Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12
After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3
The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25
Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
We don’t see nothing or no image
let's bear in mind that sin(θ) in this case is positive, that happens only in the I and II Quadrants, where the cosine/adjacent are positive and negative respectively.

I take it each student is going to make a block.
She has 25 + 28 students all together which is 53 students total
Each one requires 512 magnetic blocks
Therefore she needs 53 * 512 = 27136 blocks.
