Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...
Anyway, let
and
. Then we want to find the exact value of
.
Use the angle difference identity:
and right away we find
. By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find
. (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)
Meanwhile, if
, then (by Pythagorean theorem)
, so
. And from this,
.
So,
Answer:
B'(16,14)
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the coordinates of the vertex B. The center of the square M is the midpoint of the diagonal AC. Since A(2,7) and C(8,1), the center has coordinates
Point M is also the midpoint of the diagonal BD. Let B has coordinates (x,y), then
Hence, B(8,7).
Now, the dilation by a scale factor 2 with the center of dilation at the origin has the rule
(x,y)→(2x,2y).
Thus,
B(8,7)→B'(16,14).
Answer:
Answer B: 
times
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many times more massive is the whale relative o the polar bear, we just need to find the quotient of one over the other:
times
Therefore our answer agrees with the one shown as answer B.
