A scale factor of 1/2 makes the triangle half the size of the original.
The original is 4 units tall, so 1/2 scale makes the new one 2 units tall.
It is 6 units long, so 1/2 would be 3 units long.
Now since the scale factor is centered at (-1,3) fine the midpoint between The top left corner of the triangle and the center point:
Midpoint ( -1-5/2 , 3+7/2)
Midpoint = (-6/2 , 10/2)
Midpoint = -3,5
This is where the top left corner of the scaled triangle would be.

Answer:
140°
Step-by-step explanation:
<3 = 40 because they are vertical angles
<3 +<4 = 180 because they are same side interior angles
40 + <4 = 180
Subtract 40 from each side
40-40 + <4 = 180-40
<4 = 140
10/2 so 5 for 53, 10/4 so 5/2 or 2.5 for 54, and 10/3 or 3.333. For simplicity i divided everything by 10 to remove an extra zero but the answers would still be the same after you reduced
Answer:
58 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the area of the square. To do so, we need to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle because this coincides with the side length of the square.
We use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that for a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Here, a = 7 and b = 3, so:
7^2 + 3^2 = c^2
c^2 = 49 + 9 = 58
Now, the area of a square is: A = s^2, where s is the side length. Well, c is the side length, and we've already found what c^2 is (it's 58), so that means the area of the square is 58 units squared.
Thus, the answer is 58 units squared.
