Answer: x = 45</h3>
Work Shown:
x+x+90 = 180 .... all three angles of a triangle add to 180
2x+90 = 180
2x = 180-90
2x = 90
x = 90/2
x = 45
This is a 45-45-90 right triangle. We also consider it an isosceles right triangle because the base angles (45) are equal.
The coordinates of △ABC are A(12,8), B(10,18), C(4,16) . After a dilation, the coordinates are A'(6,4), B'(5,9), C'(2,8) A′(6,4)

Take note of that every single coordinate had their values divided by 2 after the dilation. Therefore, the scaling factor is 1/2, or .5
Your question's correct answer would be -5. Hope this helped!
