First term = T(1) is obtained by plugging n = 1 into the formula,
thus First term = 1^2 - 4 = 1 - 4
= 3 (answer)
Answer:
Dilation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The first triangle has side lengths of 6, 10, 8 and the second triangle has side lengths of 3, 5, 4 such that these two right triangles have identical angle measures but different side lengths.
To choose: the correct option
Dilation refers to a transformation when a figure is reduced or enlarged.
Each side of the large triangle is halved to get the small triangle.
So, Dilation transformation maps the large triangle onto the small triangle
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
162.5mi
Step-by-step explanation:
If the scale of the map is 1in:25mi, and you measure 6.5in between two twoms, then the real distance would be 6.5in*25mi = 162.5mi.
