After triangle ACE is dilated by a factor of 6, it has an area of 180 square inches. What was its area before dilation?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The area of triangle ACE before dilation is: 30 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when an object is dilated by a scale factor, it gets reduced, stretched, or remains the same, depending upon the value of the scale factor.

If the scale factor > 1, the image is enlarged

If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, it gets shrunk

If the scale factor = 1, the object and the image are congruent

The length of the image can be determined by multiplying the length of the original point by a certain scale factor.

Given that after triangle ACE is dilated by a factor of 6, it has an area of 180 square inches.

Thus, it means the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation.

Let x be the pre-dilation area

As the dilated area is 6 times the area before dilation, so

6x = 180

divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 180/6

x = 30 square inches.

Therefore, the area of triangle ACE before dilation is: 30 square inches

Dash offers and unlimited talk and texting plan for $80 per month AB&C charges $0.20 per text message and $55 for 1,000 min

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Let's define x as the number of text messages send.

y as the number of 1,000 minutes talk per month.

(so we can write y = N/1000) where N is exactly the number of minutes that you talked that month.

> The equation for Dash is:

C1(x, y) = $80

>The equation for AB&C

C2(x,y) = $0,20*x + $55*y

> Horizon

C3(x,y) = $0.10*x + $75*y.

Now, which company you should go for?

Well, it depends on the values of x and y that you have.

if in your case you have x > y, you may want to go with Horizon, because the price per text is smaller.

if you usually talk, you may want to go with AB&C because the slope for y is smaller.

If you send a lot of texts and talk a lot, then Dash is the best option, because there is no dependence with the variables x, y

What does x equal x + 3 ≤ –5 + 2x

Anna [14]

X+3≤ -5+2x

Add 5 to the other side. (the inverse of subtraction, since 5 is negative)

x+8≤2x

Subtract x on both sides.

8≤x <- the answer

I hope this helps!

The probability that Caroline wins a raffle is given by the expression

RSB [31]

Answer: $\frac{n-m}{n}$

This is the same as writing (n-m)/n

Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.

==================================================

Explanation:

The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.

For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.

The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.

We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".

Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps

$1 - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n}{n} - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n-m}{n}\\\\$

and now the expression is one single fraction.
