Answer: D. regular hexagon</h3>
A hexagon is composed of 6 congruent equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle has interior angle of 60 degrees. Adding 6 such angles together gets you to 360 degrees. So we've done one full rotation and covered every bit of the plane surrounding a given point. Extend this out and you'll be able to cover the plane. A similar situation happens with rectangles as well (think of a grid, or think of tiles on the wall or floor)
In contrast, a regular pentagon has interior angle 108 degrees. This is not a factor of 360, so there is no way to place regular pentagons to have them line up and not be a gap or overlap. This is why regular pentagons do not tessellate the plane. The same can be aside about decagons and octagons as well.
Being that the triangle has a center of dilation at (0,0) you must contract the points towards (0,0). The scale factor is 1/3 so you must divide the difference in location of the points on the X and Y axis by a scale of 1/3.
1/3 of 9 = 3 , y = 3
1/3 of -6 = -2 , x = -2
by changing these points a new triangle will be formed
Depending on the length of the two sides of the triangle the length could be smaller than 1.
The answer that is not true is :
B. It is always greater than 1
In order it goes like this
- 4^ x - 1 = 3^ (-x) - 2
- 3 x + 6 = 2^ x + 1
3^ x - 3 = 2 x - 2
so the question is the answer
9x2-1............................................................................
