Answer: 180= 38+(17x+1)+(3x+1), All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so I made all the add measures equal to 180 degrees.
Just solve that equation to find x. Then used then plug in the x value to (17x+1). After you solve that put it equal to 2y to solve for y.
So the y equation would look like: 2y=(17x+1) (but you would have solved for x and then plugged it in to the equation)

Answer:
10^-1*2.65
Step-by-step explanation:
two hundred sixty-five thousandths= 0.265
We need a number between 1 and 10, to do the multiplication in standard form, so 0.265 turns into 2.65.
Because 2.65 becomes, smaller we use a negative power. We only move the decimal place once to the left, so we would multiply 2.65 by 10^1.
10^-1*2.65=0.265
Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2
====================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.
If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
