Answer:
The scale factor for the dilation is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that,
Rectangle ABCD is dilated to form the rectangle A'B'C'D'.
<em>To find the scale factor, we will find the ratio of the lengths of the rectangle.</em>
We see that,
A= (1,5) and B= (4,5). So, the length of side AB = 4-1 = 3
A'= (3,15) and B'= (12,15). So, the length of side A'B' = 12-3 = 9
So, the ratio of the sides AB : A'B' = 3 : 9 = 1 : 3.
Hence, we get that,
<em>Length of side A'B' is 3 times the length of side AB.</em>
This relation can be verified for other sides also.
Thus, the scale factor for the dilation is 3.
If the apple is on the ground, then the height y is 0. To find t, just plug in 0 for y:
So the answer is 2.74 seconds.
Note that taking the square root of 7.5, mathematically, gives you both 2.74 and -2.74. But because we know that time did not go backwards, only the positive value for t was considered.
Treat as fraction
28/4
common factor is 4
divide by 4 or undistribute the 4
7/1
7:1 is simplifed ratio
16+15-8
Add 16+15 first
31 - 8
Next do 31-8
23
The final answer is 23
