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

rusak2 [61]

A student can take three subjects in 40 ways.

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given that, there are 4 different math courses, 5 different science courses, and 2 different history courses.

A student must take one of each, how many different ways can this be done?

Now, number ways to take math course = 4

Number of ways to take science course = 5  

Number of ways to take history course = 2

So, now, total possible ways = product of possible ways for each course = 4 x 5 x 2 = 40 ways.

Hence, a student can take three subjects in 40 ways.

You can buy 5 cans for green beans at the Village Markets for $3.70. You can buy 10 of the same cans of beans at Sam’s Club for
mihalych1998 [28]

The place with the best buy between village market and Sam's club is Sam's club at $0.59 per can.

<h3>Unit rate</h3>

Village market:

  • Green beans = 5 cans
  • Total cost = $3.70

Unit rate = Total cost / green beans

= 3.70 / 5

= $0.74 per can

Sam's club:

  • Green beans = 10 cans
  • Total cost = $5.90

Unit rate = Total cost / green beans

= 5.90/10

= $0.59 per can

Therefore, the place with the best buy between village market and Sam's club is Sam's club at $0.59 per can.

There was a triangle ABC with sides 15, 20, and 10. One of the sides of a triangle, which is similiar to ABC is 60. What are the
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The possible pairs of sides are 90 and 120, 30 and 45, and 80 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 60 is a multiple of 15, 20, and 30, so we multiply by each factor to find all possible pairs: 10x6=60, 20x6=120, and 15x6=90, that gives your first pair, <u>90 and 120</u>.

We have now multiplied our first factor, 6. Now we need to multiply our second factor, 3: 20x3=60, 15x3=45, and 10x3=30. That gives your second pair, <u>30 and 45</u>.

Finally, we need to multiply by our 3rd factor, 4: 15x4=60, 20x4=80, and 10x4=40. That gives you your final possible pair, <u>80 and 40</u>.

I hope this helps :-)
