Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the triangle be a and that of the new one be a'.

a'/a = 3/1      Insert the value of a

a'/6 = 3        Multiply each side by 6

  a' = 18

The measure of a side of the new triangle is 18.

Answer: 18 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When a segment 'm' is dilated by a scale factor 'k' , then the measure of new dilated segment will be 'km'  [i.e. New side length =scale factor is multiplied to the original side-length].

Given : An equilateral triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3.

[Note an equilateral triangle has all its side-lengths are equal.]

Side-length of the original triangle = 6 units

Then, the measure of a side of the new triangle = Scale factor x Original side-length

= 3 x 6 = 18 units

Hence, the measure of a side of the new triangle = 18 units.

Can you please solve 2 and 3​
Murrr4er [49]
I’m pretty sure that I’m pretty sure that question 2 is 1 minute and 40 seconds. And for number 3 I got B. 0.25 because if you look at where the line makes a direct cross between pounds and dollars that first one is 8 pounds for 2 dollars. If you divide 8 by 2 you will get 0.25. Hope this helped :)

Answer:

83 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The entire polygon consists of a rectangle with length 8 in. and width 5 in., a triangle with base 8 in. and height 7 in., and another triangle with base 5 in. and height 6 in.

The total are is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the two triangles.

area = area of rectangle + area of first triangle + area of second triangle

area = LW + bh/2 (for the first triangle) + bh/2 (for the second triangle)

area = 8 in. * 5 in. + 8 in. * 7 in. / 2 + 5 in. * 6 in. / 2

area = 40 in.^2 + 28 in.^2 + 15 in.^2

area = 83 in.^2
