Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a dilation, size is not preserved. Triangles must have the same shape and size in order to be congruent. If it is dilated by 2/3, then it gets smaller, and is therefore not the same size.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?<br> 7 ft<br> 4 ft

stepladder [879]

Answer:

√65 ft = 8.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using Pythagoras Theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = √a² + b²

Where c = Length of the Hypotenuse

a = 4ft , b = 7ft

Hence

c = √4² + 7²

c = √16 + 49

c = √(65)

c = 8.0622577483 ft

Approximately = 8.1 ft

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is √65 ft = 8.1 ft

Choose the solution(s) of the following system of equations x2 + y2 = 6 x2 – y = 6

ElenaW [278]

<h2>Answer</h2>

$x=\sqrt{6}, y=0\\ x=-\sqrt{6} , y=0\\x=\sqrt{5} , y=-1\\x=-\sqrt{5} , y=-1$

Or as ordered pairs: $(\sqrt{6} ,0),(-\sqrt{6} ,0),(\sqrt{5} ,-1),(-\sqrt{5} ,-1)$

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Lets solve our system of equations step by step

$x^2+y^2=6$ equation (1)

$x^2-y=6$ equation (2)

1. Solve for $x^2$ in equation (2)

$x^2-y=6$

$x^2=6+y$ equation (3)

2. Replace equation (3) in equation (1) and solve for $y$

$x^2+y^2=6$

$6+y+y^2=6$

$y^2+y=0$

$y(y+1)=0$

$y=0$ or $y=-1$

3. Replace the values of $y$ in equation (3) and solve for $x$

- For $y=0$

$x^2=6+y$

$x^2=6$

$x=\sqrt{6}$ or $x=-\sqrt{6}$

- For $y=-1$

$x^2=6+y$

$x^2=6-1$

$x^2=5$

$x=\sqrt{5}$ or $x=-\sqrt{5}$

So, the solutions of our system of equation are:

$x=\sqrt{6}, y=0\\ x=-\sqrt{6} , y=0\\x=\sqrt{5} , y=-1\\x=-\sqrt{5} , y=-1$
