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.

If the perimeter of the base of a regular pyramid is 24 and its slant height is 10, what is the lateral area of the pyramid?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

120 unit^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area consists of triangles so the required area is

1/2 * perimeter * slant height.

= 1/2 * 24 * 10

= 120 unit^2.

valina [46]
The first thing we must do for this case is find the amount of minutes we have then:
 "45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks":
 (45) * (5) * (12) = 2700 minutes.
 We consider the following conversion:
 1 hour = 60 minutes.
 Therefore the number of hours is:
 (2700) * (1/60) = 45 hours
 Finally the average rate in laps per hour is:
 Average = (1800) / (45)
 Average = 40 laps / hour
 Answer:
 
his average rate in laps per hour is:
 
40 laps / hour
