Sometimes two transformations, one performed after the other, have a nice description as a single transformation. For example, i

nstead of translating 2 units up followed by translating 3 units up, we could simply translate 5 units up. Instead of rotating 20 degrees counterclockwise around the origin followed by rotating 80 degrees clockwise around the origin, we could simply rotate 60 degrees clockwise around the origin.
Can you find a simple description of reflecting across the x-axis followed by reflecting across the y-axis?

Answer:

We rotate the point counterclockwise by an angle θ = tan⁻¹ (y/x)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the point (x, y), its reflection along the x-axis (x,-y). The reflection of the point (x, -y) along the y - axis is (-x, -y). So, the angle between the initial point (x, y) and the final point (-x, -y) is θ = tan⁻¹ [(-y - y)/(- x -x)] = tan⁻¹ [(-2y/(-2x)] =  tan⁻¹(y/x).

So, the point (x, y) is rotated counterclockwise by an angle of  θ = tan⁻¹ (y/x) to perform both reflections.

A suitcase measures 21 inches by 16 inches. What is the length of the diagonal of the suitcase to the nearest tenth of an inch?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle that measure 21 inches by 16 inches

to find the rectangle(which is the hypotenuse)  we will use Pythagorean theorem

c^=a^2+b^2

c^=21^2+16^2=697

c=\sqrt697} =26.40 which rounded to the nearest tenth =26
