If triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with a dilation center of A, what will be the coordinates of point b’?

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

In the given figure the sides of triangle measures as follows:

AB= 4 units,

BC= 6 units,

Since triangle ABC is right angled triangle, to find AC we will have to use Pythagorean theorem,

AB² + BC² = AC²

Plugging the values of AB and BC to find AC,

4² + 6² = AC²

16+36=AC²

AC = 7.48

Now if the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 2, each side will be multiplied by 2 to get the new triangle A'B'C'

side A'B' = 2* AB = 2*4= 8 units

side B'C' = 2* BC = 2*6 =12 units

side A'C' = 2*AC = 2*7.48 = 14.96 units

Perimeter of triangle = sum of three sides

Perimeter of triangle A'B'C' = A'B' + B'C' + A'C'= 8+12 + 14.96 = 34.96 units.

Perimeter of triangle ABC = AB+BC + AC = 4+6+7.48 = 17.48 units.

Perimeter of triangle A'B'C' = 2* Perimeter of triangle ABC

The perimeter of new triangle A'B'C' is 34.96 units which is twice that of triangle ABC.

Answer : A) The perimeter of A'B'C' is 2 times the perimeter of ABC.

Alfred collects black and brown socks but loses a lot of them. If 60% of all his socks are brown, 20% of his brown socks are in

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Alfred has 250 socks in his collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

Based on the information given to us we can see that out of All his Brown socks he has 20% in the wash and the rest are in his drawer. Meaning 80% of the Brown socks are in his drawer. So we first need to find how many Brown socks are in the wash. We can solve this using the Rule of Three property as shown in the picture below.

120 drawer ⇒ 80%

x wash ⇒ 20%

$\frac{120*20}{80} = 30$

Now that we have the amount of Brown socks in the washer we can add that to the amount in the drawer to find the total amount of Brown socks.

$Br = 120+30\\Br = 150$

So we now know that there are a total of 150 Brown socks. Since the question states that the Brown socks are 60% of the total we can use the Rule of Three to find the total.

150 Brown ⇒ 60%

T Total ⇒ 100%

$\frac{150*100}{60} = T$
