Compare a dilation to the other transformations: translation, reflection, rotation.

Mathematics

Answer:

We know that there are four types of rigid transformations namely Dilation, Translation, Reflection and Rotation.

Now, Dilation is the transformation that changes the size of the figure by some scale factor i.e. it is the transformation that increases or decreases the size of the given figure.

We can see in the first figure that the triangle ABC is dilated ( increased by some scale factor ) to form A'B'C'.

Further, Translation is the transformation that slides the figure horizontally or vertically to a fixed distance.

The second figure shows the change of position of the solid ABCD to the position of A'B'C'D'.

Now, Reflection is the transformation that flips the image about a straight line.

During reflection, the size of the figure remains same but the it goes to the opposite side of the line.

We can see from the third figure the reflection of ABC about the y-axis to form A'B'C'.

Finally, Rotation is the transformation that turns the image about a fixed point called the center of rotation to a certain degree.

So, in the last figure, we see that the image A is rotated about the center of rotation by 120° to form A'.

Hence, we see that Dilation is different from the other transformations.

Answer:

Dilation:  

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size.  

• A dilation that creates a larger image is called an enlargement.

• A dilation that creates a smaller image is called a reduction.

• A dilation stretches or shrinks the original figure.  

it could also be seen with the help of figure attached to the answer.

Translation:

the translation is the shift of the graph either upward or downward, left or right.

it could also be seen from the figure attached to the answer.

Reflection:

A reflection can be thought of as folding or "flipping" an object over the line of reflection.  

• The original object is called the pre-image, and the reflection is called the image.

the figure is attached to the answer.

Rotation:

Rotating shapes means moving them around a fixed point (clockwise or anticlockwise, and by a certain number of degrees). The shape itself stays exactly the same, but its position in the space will change.

Which of the following is a solution to 2cos x + 1 = 0?
nlexa [21]
The answer is b
2cos x + 1 = 0
2 cos x = -1
cos x = -1/2
x = cos^1(-1/2)
(cos inverse (-1/2))
x = 120°

4. Gabby makes banana bread at her bakery every Monday and Wednesday. Her
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Top row: 3 cups, 30 tablespoons, 12 bananas

Second row: 7 cups, 70 tbs, 28 bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 5 (sugar) : 50 (butter)...

You can make the unit rate: 1 cup of sugar: 10 tbs of butter

Since the other ratio is 80 tbs : 32 bananas...

1 tbs : .4 bananas

So...

3 cups : 30 tbs

30 tbs : 12 bananas

28 bananas : 70 tbs

70 tbs :  7 cups

Hope this helps!!!

800 g pineapple
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<u>30 people </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

Here are the ingredients for pineapple sherbet for 6 people

800g pineapple 4 egg whites 1/2 lemon 100g caster sugar

Dan makes pineapple sherbet he uses 2 1/2 lemons

work out how many people he makes pineapple sherbet for?

=======================================================

1/2 lemon needed for pineapple sherbet for 6 people

2 1/2 lemons needed for pineapple sherbet for <u>x</u> people

1/2 : 6 = 2 1/2 : x

∴ x = ( 6 * 2 1/2 ) ÷ (1/2)

x = 6 * 5/2 * 2 = 30 people

<u>So, he make the pineapple sherbet for 30 people </u>

The number of dogs in a shelter is equal to 4 less than 2 times the number of cats. If there are 20 dogs in the shelter how many
poizon [28]
D=number of dogs
c=cats

d equals 4 less than 2 times c
d=-4+2c
20 dogs
d=20
subsitute
20=-4+2c
add 4
24=2c
divide 2
12=c
12 cats
