Multiplying a measure by a scale to produce a reduced or enlarged measure

Mathematics
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

we conclude that:

  • If the scale factor > 1, the image is stretched
  • If the scale factor < 1, the image is reduced
  • If the scale factor = 1, the image and object will be congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation which generates an image that is the same shape as the original object but in a different size.

The image can be obtained by multiplying the measure of the original object by a scale factor.

If the scale factor > 1, the image is stretched

If the scale factor < 1, the image is reduced

If the scale factor = 1, the image and object will be congruent

For example, if we multiply the measure of the coordinates of the vertex A(2, 2) of a triangle by a scale factor of 2, the image A' is stretched as the scale factor > 1.

Dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.

  • (x, y) → (2x, 2y)

A(2, 2) → (2(2), 2(2)) = A'(4, 4)

So, the image point A'(4, 4) is enlarged.

Dilation with scale factor ½, multiply by ½.

  • (x, y) → (½x, ½y )

A(2, 2) → (2(1/2), 2(1/2)) = A'(1, 1)

So, the image point A'(1, 1) is reduced.

Therefore, we conclude that:

  • If the scale factor > 1, the image is stretched
  • If the scale factor < 1, the image is reduced
  • If the scale factor = 1, the image and object will be congruent

The sum of a number and 5 times a second number is represented by the equation a+5b=19 . The sum of half of the first number and
TiliK225 [7]
Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.

12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =
b =  \frac{8 - 12a  }{2}
b = 4 - 6a

Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.

a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19

a + 20 - 30a = 19

-29a = -1

a = 1/29 (answer)

Now plug a into the equation for b

b= 4 - 6(1/29)

b= 110/29 (answer)

Caroline is making some table decorations.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Caroline buys 3 packs of candles and 5 packs of holders.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) You need to add numbers of candle packs together until they both reach the same number, for example, multiples of 30 are 30, 60, 90.

2.) Then you add multiples of the holders. 18, 36, 54, 72, 90.

3.) You find that Caroline buys 3 pakcs of candles and 5 packs of holders to have the same number of both.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

16.028 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch=0.0833333 foot

24 inches=0.0833333×24

=1.9999992 foot

The mirror is square shaped and each side is 24 inches

If each 24 inches=1.9999992 foot

Then,

4 sides of 24 inches=1.9999992×24

=47.9999808 foot

Maria has 1 foot of trim left

Total Length of trim when she started=47.9999808+0.0833333

=48.0833141 foot

=16.02777136667 yards

Approximately,

16.028 yards
