Answer:

The scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle RST is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

To find the scale factor divide the length side of the image (reduced triangle) by the corresponding length side of the pre-image (original triangle)

z=\frac{RS}{AB}

substitute the values

z=\frac{6}{18}

simplify

z=\frac{1}{3}

The scale factor is less than 1

so

Is a reduction

Answer:  The required scale factor of ΔABC to ΔRST is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that triangles ABC and RST are similar, where

AB = 18, BC = 15, AC = 9 and RS = 6.

We are use a proportion with sides AB and RS to find the scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle RST.

We know that the scale factor of dilation is given by

S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of dilated triangle}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original triangle}}.

Since AB and RS are corresponding sides of the two similar triangle ABC and RST, so the scale factor of ABC to RST is

S=\dfrac{RS}{AB}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{6}{18}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{1}{3}.

Thus, the required scale factor of ΔABC to ΔRST is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Theory - Roots of a product
 3.1    A product of several terms equals zero. 

 When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. 

 We shall now solve each term = 0 separately 

 In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product 

 Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
 3.2      Solve  :    -7n = 0 

 Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  7n = 0


Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
                     n = 0
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
 3.3      Solve  :    n-7 = 0 

 Add  7  to both sides of the equation : 
                      n = 7



This is what i got! if i’m wrong i’m so sorry

Which expressions are equivalent to Negative 9 (two-thirds x + 1)? Check all that apply.
Sav [38]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u><em /></u>-9(\frac{2}{3}x) + 9(1)\\  \\-6x + 9

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>Before we begin, remember the following rules:</u>

<u>1- Distribution property:</u>

<u />a(b+c) = ab+ac

<u>2- Simplification of fractions:</u>

<u />\frac{xy}{yz}=\frac{x}{z}

<u>3- Signs in multiplication:</u>

+ve * +ve = +ve

-ve * -ve = +ve

+ve * -ve = -ve

<u>Now, for the given problem, we have:</u>

<u></u>9 (\frac{2}{3}x + 1)

<u>Starting with the distributive property:</u>

<u />-9 (\frac{2}{3}x +1) =  -9(\frac{2}{3}x) - (-9)(1) = -9(\frac{2}{3}x) + 9(1)

..................>This corresponds to option 1

<u>Now, we simplify the output from the above step:</u>

<u />-9(\frac{2}{3}x) + 9 = \frac{-9*2}{3}x + 9 = -6x+9

................> This corresponds to option 5

Hope this helps :)
