Answer:

2.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

that means two lengths of the triangle have to be multiplied.

and to have 2 similar triangles means that all lengths inside one triangle are the corresponding lengths inside the other triangle multiplied by the scaling factor f.

multiplying 2 if these lengths with each other means also including the square of the scaling factor (multiplying with the scaling factor twice).

so, if the area of triangle 1 is

"baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2 = 45 cm²

then the area of triangle 2 is

"baseline 2" × "height 2" / 2 =

= "baseline 1"×f × "height 1"×f /2 =

= "baseline 1" × "height 1" × f² / 2 =

= ("baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2) × f² =

= 45 × f² = 20 cm²

f² = 20/45 = 4/9

f = 2/3

so, for a side of ABC being 3.6cm long, that means the corresponding side in DEF is

3.6 × f = 3.6 × 2/3 = 7.2/3 = 2.4cm

For the right triangle find the missing length. Round your answer<br> to the nearest tenth.
Brut [27]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

tan60 = w/2

Multiply 2 on both sides to get the w by itself.

tan60 x 2 = w

Put tan60 into the calculator.

2 x 1.732050808 = w

Multiply.

w = 3.5

Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using two reflections?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The correct option is figure (1).

Explanation:

Reason for correct option:

The figure (1) shows the reflection across the side XY followed by reflection across the side YT.

When we reflect the triangle XYZ across the side XY we get the triangle XYT as shown in below figure.

After that we reflect the triangle XYT across the side YT and we get the triangle PYT.

Therefore, only figure 1 shows the triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using two reflections.

Reason for incorrect options:

The figure (2) shows the rotation of 180 degree along the point y.

The figure (3) shows the reflection across the side XY followed by the translation.

The figure (4) shows the reflection, followed by rotation , followed by translation.
