The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 20%, resulting in triangle ABC. If the length of each side of

the original equilateral is decreased by 20%, resulting in triangle DEF, how much greater is the area of triangle ABC than the area of triangle DEF?

Answer: Area of ΔABC is 2.25x the area of ΔDEF.

Step-by-step explanation: Because equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, area is calculated as

A=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}

with a as side of the triangle.

Triangle ABC is 20% bigger than the original, which means its side (a₁) measures, compared to the original:

a₁ = 1.2a

Then, its area is

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(1.2a)^{2}

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}1.44a^{2}

Triangle DEF is 20% smaller than the original, which means its side is:

a₂ = 0.8a

So, area is

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.8a)^{2}

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} 0.64a^{2}

Now, comparing areas:

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}= (\frac{\sqrt{3}.1.44a^{2} }{4})(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}.0.64a^{2} } )

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} = 2.25

<u>The area of ΔABC is </u><u>2.25x</u><u> greater than the area of ΔDEF.</u>

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Both set A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set A: (-1, 0), (-2, 1), (4, 3), (3, 4)

Set B: (1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)

Set C: (2, 1), (3, 2), (2, 3), (1, 4)

In order for (x,y) to be a function, only one x get the value of y, but many x'es can get the value y.

Looking at the set A and B, and the definition above, we can say that they are functions.

What about set C? It is not a function, as x = 2 is equal 1 or 3, which does not meet the condition from the definition.
