The reactangle has an area of x.
So that means two numbers multiplied to each other equal to x. We can just think of itwo numbers that when multiplied equal to x as a and b.
So that means the side lengths are <u />a and b. And ab = x (will be using this right next).
And it was multiplied by some scale factor that made the new area 9x. So if the scale factor is y, then:




y can not equal to -3, because the length of a side of any polygon can never be negative.
So the dilation is 3.And so if the dimension is 5 by 8.
Then the area is

And so then

And then after the dilation, it would be

We could check it another way too. Since we said the scale factor is 3, then:

So
basically
15 by 24 is the new dimensions :)
Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse = 25 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle has leg lengths of 7 inches and 24 inches.
Given
<u><em>Pythagorean Theorem</em></u>
For a right-angled triangle with sides 'a' and 'b', the hypotenuse 'c' is
defined as:

inches
icnhes
so substituting the values

inches
Thus, the length of the hypotenuse = 25 inches
Hey There!
your answer would be D.
26/4 = 6 2/4 = 6 1/2 = 6.50 being your greatest
50/8 is 6 2/8 being your smallest, being 2/8 is smaller than 2/5
Hope This Helps!!
