Assume that the initial coordinates are (x,y) and that the dilated coordinates are (x',y').
The dilation is therefore:
(x,y) ............> (x',y')
Now, let's assume that the dilation factor is k.
Therefore:
x' = kx
y' = ky
Based on the above, all the student has to do is get the initial coordinates and the final ones and then substitute in any of the above two equations to get the value of k.
Example:
Assume an original point at (2,4) is dilated to coordinates (4,8). Find the dilation factor.
Assume the dilation coefficient is k.
(x,y) are (2,4) and (x',y') are (4,8)
Therefore:
x' = kx .........> 4 = k*2 ..........> k = 2
or:
y' = ky ..........> 8 = k*4 .........> k = 2
Based on the above, the dilation coefficient would be 2.
Hope this helps :)
You can’t make 100 if you multiply
The answer is two because the value of 18 divided by 9 equals two
Answer:
The length of each piece is 13 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Maria bought 78 meters of rope, she divided the rope into 6 equal parts on Tuesday, May 8, How many meters is each piece?
a) Each piece measures 312m
c) Each piece measures 13m
d) each piece mites 92m
b) Each piece measures 9m and 75cm
Total length, L = 78 m
Number of pieces, n = 6
length of each piece,
d = L/n = 78/6 = 13 m
So, the correct option is (c).
