Answer:
The scale factor of a dilation from ABCD to RSTU is 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle RSTU.
Given that in rectangle ABCD the longest sides are DC and AB and in the rectangle RSTU the longest sides are UT and RS ⇒ The scale factor of a dilation will transform the sides DC and AB into UT and RS
Working with the lengths of the sides :
DC.(Scale factor) = UT
AB.(Scale factor) = RS
Replacing with the values of the lengths (Scale factor : SF) :
Notice that the scale factor is dimensionless.
We can verify this result with the sides AD and BC :
The scale factor (SF) is
Answer:
x = 7.5
y = 14
m<1 = 87°
m<7 = 93°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
m<2 = (14x - 12),
m<6 = (5y + 23),
m<8 = (8x + 27)
m<2 + m<8 = 180° (consecutive exterior angles are supplementary)
(14x - 12) + (8x + 27) = 180 (substitution)
Solve for x
14x - 12 + 8x + 27 = 180
Collect like terms
22x + 15 = 180
Subtract 15 from each side
22x = 180 - 15
22x = 165
Divide both sides by 22
x = 7.5
m<2 = m<6 (corresponding angles are congruent)
(14x - 12) = (5y + 23) (substitution)
Plug in the value of x
14(7.5) - 12 = 5y + 23
105 - 12 = 5y + 23
93 = 5y + 23
Subtract 23 from each side
93 - 23 = 5y
70 = 5y
Divide both sides by 5
14 = y
y = 14
✅m<1 = m<8 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)
m<1 = (8x + 27) (substitution)
Plug in the value of x
m<1 = 8(7.5) + 27 = 87°
m<7 = m<2 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)
m<7 = (14x - 12) (substitution)
Plug in the value of x
m<7 = 14(7.5) - 12 = 93°
15 Minutes
You have 8 km in an hour.
Divide all that by two and you'll have 4 km in 30 mins.
Then divide by two again to end up with 2 km in 15 mins.
You could alternatively divide by four from the beginning, but I find this easier.
