Find the unknown side length x.
1 answer:
Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude of the triangle must equal 4 because it is a right triangle with another leg of 3 and a hypotenuse of 5 (reason is due to the pythagorean theorem)
Therefore, the triangle on the right has legs of 4 and 7 and, again, use the phythagorean theorem to find 'x' (the hypotenuse)

=
16 + 49 =
65 =
x = sq rt 65

ΔRST is dilated by a factor of 1/3 with the center of dilation at the origin.
The vertices of ΔRST, are
R (3, 6)
S (-3, 6)
T (-6, -6)
The vertices of the dilated image ΔR'S'T', are
R' (1, 2)
S' (-1,2)
T' (-2, -2)
The transformed image is shown in red color.
