What is the scale factor of the dilation?

klasskru [66]

A description of a dilation includes the scale factor (or ratio) and the center of the dilation. The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement (a stretch). If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction (a shrink

Keiko has seven colors of lanyard. She uses three different colors to make a keychain. How many different combinations can she c

AleksAgata [21]

Combination = doesn't matter what order
Permutation = order matters

There are <u>two</u> methods to work out combinations.

Method 1 List out possibilities
123 124 125 126 127 134 135 136 137 145 146 147 156 157 167
234 235 236 237 245 246 247 256 257 267
345 346 347 356 357 367
456 457 467
567

For a total of 35 combinations.

Method 2 Use a formula.
It's a rather complicated one, so only use it if you have a lot of possibilities.

$\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} = \frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} = \frac{7!}{3!*4!} = \frac{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*4*3*2*1} = \frac{7*6*5}{3*2*1}=\frac{210}6=35$

(n is the number of choices, r is the amount you choose, and ! is a function that multiplies together all numbers down to 1)

a 15-foot telephone pole has a wire that extends from the top of the pole to the ground. The wire and the ground form a 42 degre

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The length of the wire is 22.42 feet

The distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground is 16.66 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the situation in the problem

- The telephone pole , the wire and the ground formed a right triangle

- The wire is the hypotenuse of the triangle

- The height of the telephone pole and the distance from the base of

the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground are the legs

of the triangle

- The angle between the wire and the ground is 42°

- The angle 42° is opposite to the height of the telephone pole

- The height of the telephone pole is 15 feet

* Lets use the trigonometry functions to find the length of the wire

(hypotenuse) and the distance from the base of the pole to the spot

where the wire touches the ground

∵ sin Ф = opposite/hypotenuse

∵ Ф = 42° and its opposite side = 15 feet

∴ sin 42 = 15/hypotenuse ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ sin 42° (hypotenuse) = 15 ⇒ divide both sides by sin 42

∴ hypotenuse = 15/sin 42° = 22.42 feet

∵ The length of the wire is the hypotenuse

∴ The length of the wire is 22.42 feet

∵ The distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire

touches the ground is the adjacent side to the angle 42°

∵ tan Ф = opposite/adjacent

∴ tan 42° = 15/adjacent ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ tan 42° (adjacent) = 15 ⇒ divide both sides by sin 42

∴ adjacent = 15/tan 42° = 16.66 feet

∵ The adjacent side is the distance from the base of the pole to the

spot where the wire touches the ground

∴ The distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire

touches the ground is 16.66 feet
