Answer:
The correct option is 3. The value of x is 8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Figure A is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 to form Figure B. It means both figure are similar and corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
Multiply both sides by 16.
Since scale factor is 1/2, so we can directly say that the side length of image is half of the corresponding side of preimage.
The length of x is 8 inches. Therefore the correct option is 3.
Answer:
Both legs would be 20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the image below, it shows the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in every 45 45 90 triangle. If we know that the hypotenuse is 20, then the 2 legs are both 20.
I am slightly confused with the problem since they asked for the "short" leg and the "long" leg. Both legs should be the same length because a 45 45 90 triangle is isosceles, with the two legs being the same length.
