HELP ME Write and solve a proportion to find y.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
6 0

Given:

A figure of dilation and the center of dilation is O.

To find:

The value of y.

Solution:

The distance between center and vertex of image (d') is proportional to the distance between center and the corresponding vertex of original figure (d).

d'\propto d

d'=kd

\dfrac{d'}{d}=k

Where, k is the scale factor or constant of proportionality.

So, the scale factor for the given dilation is

k=\dfrac{OB'}{OB}

k=\dfrac{36}{16}

k=\dfrac{9}{4}

We know that,

k=\dfrac{\text{Side length of image}}{\text{Corresponding side length of original figure}}

\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{A'C'}{AC}

\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{27}{y}

9\times y=27\times 4

Divide both sides by 9.

y=\dfrac{27\times 4}{9}

y=3\times 4

y=12

Therefore, the value of y is 12.

Tina had $47.10 in her bank account on Monday. She withdrew $25 on Monday and also made a deposit of an amount d that she cannot
nalin [4]
The correct answer is a.  47.10 - 25 + d = 97.43.

This is because you have to subtract the $25, because it is a withdrawal, or taking out of money.
This rules out options C and D.  

Also, Tina made a deposit of an amount that she can't remember.  A deposit is adding a certain amount of money, so you have to +d.  

This rules out option B.

The only option left is option A, which makes complete sense.

Round 87590 is nearest 1000 you will get​
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

88,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The number in the thousands is 7. If we look at the hundreds, it has a 5. 5 or more means to round up. So, rounding up the 7 gives us 8. Then, we make all the numbers past the 1000's place 0's. So, we are therefore left with 88,000.

Hope this helps! :D
