A 68 since it is an = triangle
The answer is c 143.ok bye
I think it yes the diagonals are congruent but I can’t really tell
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Unless otherwise specified we usually assume the dilation is about the origin. That is you can tell the scale factor by the way the distance to the origin changes.
Point C, for example, is 6 units from the origin. Its image, C' is 4 units from the origin. Then the scale factor image/original is 4/6 = 2/3.
Your green question mark gets filled with 3 to make the fraction 2/3.

To find the translation, pick any point on A'B'C' and find the corresponding point A'', B'', or C''. Count the squares you have to go left to get from A' to A'', for example. That will be 5 to the left. Similarly, count the squares you have to go down to get from A' to A''. That will be 4 down.
