Triangle ABC is graphed on a coordinate grid with vertices at A (-2, -4), B (2, -4) and C (0, 2). Triangle ABC is dilated by a s

cale factor of x with the origin as the center of dilation to create triangle A’B’C with the vertices A’ (-1, -2), B’(1, -2), C’ (0, 1).
Which rule best represents the dilation that was applied to Triangle ABC to create A’B’C’?

(x, y) (2x, 2y)

(x, y) (0.2x, 0.2y)

(x, y) (12x, 12y)

(x, y) (14x, 14y)

Answer:

The rule which best represents the dilation that was applied to Triangle ABC to create A’B’C’ will be:

(x, y) → (1/2x, 1/2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of a triangle

  • A(-2, -4)
  • B(2, -4)
  • C(0, 2)

After the dilation, the vertices of an image triangle be

  • A' (-1, -2)
  • B '(1, -2)
  • C' (0, 1)

If we closely observe, we can notice that the image triangle vertices A'B'C' are half of the original triangle ABC.

i.e. (x, y) → (1/2x, 1/2y)

verification

A(-2, -4) → A'(-2/2, -4/2) = A'(-1, -2)

B(2, -4) → B'(2/2, -4/2) = B'(1, -2)

C(0, 2) → C'(0/2, 2/2) = C'(0, 1)

Thus, it is verified and we conclude that the rule which best represents the dilation that was applied to Triangle ABC to create A’B’C’ will be:

  • (x, y) → (1/2x, 1/2y)

X=5y: 2x+5y=60<br><br> A) 10,4<br> B) 15,4<br> C) 20,4<br> D) 25,4
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

C) 20, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

X = 5y

2x + 5y = 60

substitute in 5y for x: 2(5y) + 5y = 60

10y + 5y = 60

15y = 60

y = 4

x = 5y

x = 5(4) = 20

A plane travels 600 miles in 3 hours. at this rate how far could the jet fly in 10 hours? math
IgorLugansk [536]
First you would have to find the distance it's going per hour.
600 \div 3
You will then get the answer of 200 m/hr. You can then plug in 200 m/hr to find how far the jet could fly in 10 hours
200 \times 10
You're final answer should be 2,000 miles

A 5.ft tall man casts a shadow along the ground that is 8 ft. long. At the same time a giraffe casts a shadow that is 12 ft. lon
forsale [732]

Answer :  7.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

when the length of the shadow is 8ft, the actual height of the man = 5ft

8:5

let the giraffe be 'x' ft tall.

if the length of the shadow is 12ft, actual height = x ft

12:x

8:5 x 12:x

\frac{8}{5} × \frac{12}{x}

x= \frac{15}{2}

x=7.5 ft

Therefore, the giraffe is 7.5ft tall.
