Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12
After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3
The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25
Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
Answer:
A=27 cm^2
B=24 cm^2
C=26 cm^2
D=28 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Break each problem down into individual shapes.
For instance, A can be split into a 3 by 3 square and a 6 by 3 square.
Get the area by multiplying the length & height: A = L * H
For the triangles the area is the same equation divided by 2 A=LH/2
Shapes with unclear dimensions like C can be skipped and have their area revealed through process of elimination.
The length of the yard is 25ft.
In order to find this we first need to set up variables for the length and the width. Since we don't know anything about the width, we'll set it as x. Then, we know the length is equal to ten more than three times the width. Since the width is x, we can write the length as 3x + 10. Now we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x.
2l + 2w = P
2(3x + 10) + 2(x) = 60
6x + 20 + 2x = 60
8x + 20 = 60
8x = 40
x = 5
Now that we have a value for x, we can plug into the length equation and find the length.
3x + 10
3(5) + 10
15 + 10
25
