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
