Answer: 3.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Triangle is dilated by a factor of 
i.e. each side multiplies to 0.25.
Side E'F' becomes 0.25 times the original length
The correct answer is letter C
Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2
====================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.
If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that 72 and (2x + 10) add up to 90
90-72 = 18
(2x + 10) = 18
2x = 8
x = 4
Answer:
C. It represents the product of two rational numbers and its equivalent to a rational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 is a natural number, a real number and a rational number.
is a real number and a rational number.
The product of 5 × = 1.25 which is also a rational number in addition to being a real number.
