Ricardo has a square hot tub. He wants to build a square pool next to it that is a dilation of the hot tub using a scale factor

of 5. Point Q is the center of dilation. Square A B C D is dilated to created square A prime B prime C prime D prime. The length of B prime C prime is 24 feet. If the pool is to be 24 ft on each side, what is the length of one side of the hot tub?

Answer:

The length of one side of the hot tub is 4.8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Square

$k = 5$ -- scale factor

$B'C' = 24$

Required

Side length of ABCD (the hot tub)

From the question, we understand that

$ABCD \to D_5 \to A'B'C'D$ ABCD dilated by 5 to A'B'C'D

This implies that:

$BC * 5 = B'C'$ i.e. the sides of ABCD is multiplied by 5 to get A'B'C'D

So, we have:

$BC * 5 = 24$

Divide by 5

$BC = 4.8$

How do you find an average?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Finding the average is a very straightforward concept. If you have a set of numbers, the average is found by adding all numbers in the set and dividing their sum by the total number of numbers added in the set.

example;

16, 17, 5, 27, 30, 20, 4, 1, 19, 9

add all 10 of these numbers together

16 + 17+ 5+27+30+4+1+19+9 = 148

divide 128 by 10

148 / 10 = 14.8

14.8 is the average

The given matrix is the augmented matrix for a linear system. Use technology to perform the row operations needed to transform t

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$x_{1} = \frac{176}{127} + \frac{71}{127}x_{4}\\\\ x_{2} = \frac{284}{127} + \frac{131}{254}x_{4}\\\\x_{3} = \frac{845}{127} + \frac{663}{254}x_{4}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given Augmented matrix is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}9&-2&0&-4&:8\\0&7&-1&-1&:9\\8&12&-6&5&:-2\end{array}\right]$

Step 1 :

$r_{1}$ ↔ $r_{1} - r_{2}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-14&6&-9&:10\\0&7&-1&-1&:9\\8&12&-6&5&:-2\end{array}\right]$

Step 2 :

$r_{3}$ ↔ $r_{3} - 8r_{1}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-14&6&-9&:10\\0&7&-1&-1&:9\\0&124&-54&77&:-82\end{array}\right]$

Step 3 :

$r_{2}$ ↔ $\frac{r_{2}}{7}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-14&6&-9&:10\\0&1&-\frac{1}{7} &-\frac{1}{7} &:\frac{9}{7} \\0&124&-54&77&:-82\end{array}\right]$

Step 4 :

$r_{1}$ ↔ $r_{1} + 14r_{2}$ , $r_{3}$ ↔ $r_{3} - 124r_{2}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&4&-11&:-8\\0&1&-\frac{1}{7} &-\frac{1}{7} &:\frac{9}{7} \\0&0&- \frac{254}{7} &\frac{663}{7} &:-\frac{1690}{7} \end{array}\right]$

Step 5 :

$r_{3}$ ↔ $\frac{r_{3}. 7}{254}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&4&-11&:-8\\0&1&-\frac{1}{7} &-\frac{1}{7} &:\frac{9}{7} \\0&0&1&-\frac{663}{254} &:-\frac{1690}{254} \end{array}\right]$

Step 6 :

$r_{1}$ ↔ $r_{1} - 4r_{3}$ , $r_{2}$ ↔ $r_{2} + \frac{1}{7} r_{3}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&0&-\frac{71}{127} &:\frac{176}{127} \\0&1&0&-\frac{131}{254} &:\frac{284}{127} \\0&0&1&-\frac{663}{254} &:\frac{845}{127} \end{array}\right]$

∴ we get

$x_{1} = \frac{176}{127} + \frac{71}{127}x_{4}\\\\ x_{2} = \frac{284}{127} + \frac{131}{254}x_{4}\\\\x_{3} = \frac{845}{127} + \frac{663}{254}x_{4}\\$
