Answer:
a) 1/2; reduction
b) 5/4; enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.
a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction
__
b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement
Answer:

Sorry but your question is not too explanatory but I sure hope this helps
The 13 pound bag is 1/2 of the 26 pound bag so if 40 dogs eat that then 20 dogs will eat 13 pounds.
Your answer should be 20 dogs
I'm not sure what this question means exactly, maybe the principals goal is unrealistic?
Area of a circle is 75 cm².
Area of a circle is computed by multiplying pi to the square of the radius.
A = πr²
diameter = 10 cm
radius = d/2 = 10/2 = 5 cm
pi = 3
A = 3(5cm²)
A = 3(25cm²)
A = 75 cm²
