Let t be the side of the triangle and s be the side of the square.

Let P_t be the perimeter of the triangle and P_s be the perimeter of the square.

We have the following relationship:

\begin{cases}P_t = P_s+7\\t=s+5\\P_t = 3t\\P_s=4s\end{cases} \implies \begin{cases}3t=4s+7\\t=s+5\end{cases} \implies 3(s+5)=4s+7 \implies s=8

Which finally implies

t=s+5=13

Answer:

Side of triangle =  13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let side of square be x inches.

Perimeter of square = 4*side = 4x   --------->1

side of triangle = x+5  { the side of the triangle is 5 inches more than the          side of the square. }

Perimeter of triangle = 3*side

                                   = 3 * (x+5)  =3x + 15 -------->2

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 7 inches more than perimeter of a square.

             3x + 15 - 4x = 7

                 3x -4x     = 7-15

                         -x     = - 8

x= 8

Side of a square = 8 inches.

Side of triangle = x + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13 inches

What is the translation of the point to its image? A (−1, 4)→ A' (3, 3)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

We validate that the formula to determine the translation of the point to its image will be:

A (x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A (−1, 4)→ A' (3, 3)

Here:

  • A(-1, 4) is the original point
  • A'(3, 3) is the image of A

We need to determine which translation operation brings the coordinates of the image A'(3, 3).

If we closely observe the coordinates of the image A' (3, 3), it is clear the image coordinates can be determined by adding 4 units to the x-coordinate and subtracting 1 unit to the y-coordinate.

Thue, the rule of the translation will be:

A(x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)

Let us check whether this translation rule validates the image coordinates.

A (x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)

Given that A(-1, 4), so

A (-1, 4) → A' (-1+4, 4-1) = A' (3, 3)

Therefore, we validate that the formula to determine the translation of the point to its image will be:

A (x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)
