Answer:

The area of triangle ACE before dilation is:  30 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when an object is dilated by a scale factor, it gets reduced, stretched, or remains the same, depending upon the value of the scale factor.

  • If the scale factor > 1, the image is enlarged
  • If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, it gets shrunk
  • If the scale factor = 1, the object and the image are congruent

The length of the image can be determined by multiplying the length of the original point by a certain scale factor.

Given that after triangle ACE is dilated by a factor of 6, it has an area of 180 square inches.

Thus, it means the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation.

Let x be the pre-dilation area

As the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation, so

6x = 180

divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 180/6

x = 30 square inches.

Therefore, the area of triangle ACE before dilation is:  30 square inches

Answer:

10 sides (decagon)

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the perimeter by adding up all the sides of a shape.

side + side + side + side... = perimeter

You know that <em>each</em> side is 4/5 centimeters. You also know that the perimeter is 8 centimeters.

<u>You can set up an equation like this:</u>

4/5 * number of sides = 8

<em>or you can write it in a simpler form as:</em>

4/5x=8

<u>Now solve it like a normal equation:</u>

5 * (4/5x) = (8) * 5

(4x) / 4=(40) / 4

x = 10

So, you know the shape has 10 sides that are 4/5 centimeters each.

The table shows the height of water in a pool as it is
omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the rate of change. For us, this rate of change is inches of water per minute. If this rate of change is 2/1, that means that the rate is changing 2 inches every minute (aka The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute, first choice in your list of possibilities).

How does the multiplicity of a zero determine the behavior of the graph at that zero?
grin007 [14]
If the graph crosses the x-axis and appears almost linear at the intercept, it is a single zero. If the graph touches the x-axis and bounces off of the axis, it is a zero with even multiplicity. If the graph crosses the x-axis at a zero, it is a zero with odd multiplicity. The sum of the multiplicities is the degree
