9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is 15-x (because their sum is 15). The relation between the numbers is ...

  2x -3 = 15 -x . . . . . three less than twice one number is the other number

  3x = 18 . . . . . . add 3+x

  x = 6 . . . . . . divide by 3

  15-x = 9 . . . . find the other number

The two numbers are 6 and 9.

A square has a side of 8cm. The area of the square increases by 50%. Work out the percentage increase in the length of the side.
sertanlavr [38]
Because the side has to be increased by 50% 
you find half of 8, which is 4 and you add 8+4 because you add the increased amount
8+4=12
you then just find the area.... so 12x12= 144

Figure
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

  • a rotation, followed by a translation
  • a translation, followed by two reflections

Step-by-step explanation:

The rigid motions are the transformations that produce congruent images.

There are three main kinds of rigid motions  :

  • Reflections : Flips a figure across a line of reflection.
  • Rotations : Rotates a figure about some degrees around a center point.
  • Translations : Moves figure on a plane about some distance in a certain direction.

But dilation is not a rigid transformation because it may change the size of the image. It is usually used to shrink or enlarge a shape.

So, the options having dilation and term "stretch" cannot produce congruent figures.

Hence, the correct options are :

  • a rotation, followed by a translation
  • a translation, followed by two reflections
