Given:
A coordinate pair was dilated from (-3, 2) to (-6, 4).
To find:
The scale factor.
Solution:
We need to divide the coordinate of dilated point by the corresponding coordinate of original point to find the scale factor.
The value of scale factor is:
![k=\dfrac{x\text{-coordinate of image}}{x\text{-coordinate of original point}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bx%5Ctext%7B-coordinate%20of%20image%7D%7D%7Bx%5Ctext%7B-coordinate%20of%20original%20point%7D%7D)
![k=\dfrac{-6}{-3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cdfrac%7B-6%7D%7B-3%7D)
![k=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D2)
Therefore, the scale factor is 2.

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is one leg
- b is another leg
- c is hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Identify Variables</u>
a = 19
b = <em>x</em>
c = 21
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [PT]: 19² + x² = 21²
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: x² = 21² - 19²
- Exponents: x² = 441 - 361
- Subtract: x² = 80
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = √80
- Simplify: x = 4√5
Answer:
140 + 10 = 150, so 150 + 140 = 290 students. There are 140 + 10 = 150 students at Westside Middle School.
Step-by-step explanation:
9 ft
Set up a ratio...6/18=x/27...reduce to 1/3=x/27...cross multiply and solve for x.
3x=27 so x=9
