The scale factor of the dilation from ABCD to A′B′C′D′ is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the pre-image ABCD, the length of one of the sides is given as 14 units.
For the other shape A′B′C′D′, the same side as the previous shape is given as 8 units.
Step 2:
To determine the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.
In this case, it is the given length of the sides CD and C′D′.
So the scale factor = 
So the shape ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of
to produce the shape A′B′C′D′.
Answer: x ≤3
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer is correct
<span>The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.</span>
So, the total number of balls is 11. We want to pick 2 red balls and 1 green ball. WLOG (since order doesnt matter here), we can say he picks red, green, red. That means on his first pick, he has a
chance of picking the red ball, and he places it back in the bag. The probability of picking a green ball is
, and then he places the ball back in the bag. The probability of picking the last red ball is the same as the last red ball example, and we simply multiply the probabilities together as per the multiplication rule to get:

Now, without replacement the order does matter. He picks a red ball, a red ball then a green ball. The probability of picking the first red ball is
, and the probability of picking the second red ball is
and the probability of picking the green ball is
. We want to multiply thm again, as per the multiplication rule like the last problem.

The ratio of the shortest sides is 12/5. Multiplying the other two sides of the smaller triangle by that ratio gives 15 and 18, so the ratios of all sides are the same. The triangles are similar.
ABC ~ ZYX
The largest/smallest scale factor is 12/5 = 2.4.
