Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given triangle PQR is similar to triangle PTU, we can write a proportion to connect the side lengths:
PQ / PT = QR / TU = PR / PU
We don't really care about QR and TU because the are irrelevant to the problem, so we can remove them:
PQ / PT = PR / PU
Now, we can substitute the values given by the diagram:
70 / 30 = 49 / (x + 10)
We can cross multiply,
70(x + 10) = 30 * 49
And divide by 70 on both sides(too lazy to multiply :P)
x + 10 = 3 * 7
x + 10 = 21
x = 11
Answer:
y: (5, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is biased because they surveyed people who were at a park, therefore they enjoy parks and would want more in the area
Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12
After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3
The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25
Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
