Answer:
Option B. 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with the center of dilation at (2, -1).
we have to calculate the scale factor of the dilation.
One point of the large triangle is (-4, -1). After dilation it has become (-1, -1) of the smaller one.
If we consider the x coordinates of the point x = -4 has reduced down to -1 therefore scale factor = side of small triangle/side of the large triangle = (2 + 1)/(2 + 4) = 3/6 = 1/2
Therefore Option B. 1/2 is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
use herons formula
√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
where s is the semi perimeter
S=20
and a,b,c are sides of triangle
=√20(20-17)(20-9)(20-14)
=√20.3.11.6
=62.92
nearest whole number is 63
option B is correct
