Answer:

\overline {R'S'}  = 3 {\overline {RS} }

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of dilation of triangle ΔOPQ, S.F. = 3

The center of dilation = Point <em>Q</em>

Therefore;

The length of the segment, {\overline {S'Q'} } = 3 × The length of the segment, {\overline {SQ} }

Similarly;

The length of the segment, {\overline {R'Q'} } = 3 × The length of the segment, {\overline {RQ} }

By Pythagoras theorem, we have;

{\overline {R'Q'} }^2 = {\overline {R'S'} }^2 + {\overline {S'Q'} }^2

Therefore;

{\overline {R'S'} }^2  = {\overline {R'Q'} }^2  - {\overline {S'Q'} }^2 = \left ({3 \times \overline {RQ} } \right) ^2  - \left (3 \times {\overline {SQ} } \right) ^2 = 9 \times \left (\overline {RQ} }  ^2  -  {\overline {SQ} } ^2 \right) = 9 \times  {\overline {RS} }^2

\therefore \sqrt{  {\overline {R'S'} }^2} =  \sqrt{ 9 \times  {\overline {RS} }^2}= 3 \times  {\overline {RS} }

\overline {R'S'}  = 3 \times  {\overline {RS} }.

How do I find the equation of the perpendicular bisector between (-2,5) and (2,-1)?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope of the given line.

\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }

Slope of given line

=  \frac{5 - ( - 1)}{ - 2 - 2}

=  \frac{5 + 1}{ - 4}

=  \frac{6}{ - 4}

=  -  \frac{3}{2}

A perpendicular bisector cuts through the line at its midpoint perpendicularly.

The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let the slope of the perpendicular bisector be m.

-  \frac{3}{2} m =  - 1

m =  - 1 \div ( -  \frac{3}{2} )

m =  - 1 \times ( -  \frac{2}{3} )

m =  \frac{2}{3}

y =  \frac{2}{3}x  + c, where c is the y-intercept.

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that lies on the perpendicular bisector into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, we can use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates.

\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x _{1} + x _2}{2} , \frac{y_1  + y_2}{2} )}

Midpoint of given line

=  ( \frac{ - 2+ 2}{2} , \frac{5 - 1}{2} )

=( \frac{0}{2} , \frac{4}{2} )

= (0, 2)

y =  \frac{2}{3} x + c

When x= 0, y= 2,

2= ⅔(0) +c

2= 0 +c

c= 2

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 2.

An angle measures 3pi/4 radians.<br> What is this angle's measure, in degrees?
Annette [7]

Answer:

135°

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from radian measure to degree measure

degree measure = radian measure × \frac{180}{\pi }, so

degree = \frac{3\pi }{4} × \frac{180}{\pi }

Cancel π on numerator/denominator and 4, 180 by 4, leaving

degree = 3 × 45 = 135°
