Answer:
y = 167°
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex of the triangle = 154° ( alternate angle to 154° )
The triangle has 2 equal legs so is isosceles with 2 base angles congruent
base angle = =
= 13°
base angle and y are adjacent angles, lie on straight line AB and sum to 180°
y + 13° = 180° ( subtract 13° from both sides )
y = 167°
Given:
In the given figure the vertices of triangle ABC are A(-2,2), B(4,2), C(-2,-2).
The vertices of triangle A'B'C' are A'(-4,4), B'(8,4), C'(-4,-4).
To find:
The center of dilation and the scale factor.
Solution:
In the given graph, draw the lines AA', BB' and CC'. The intersection point of these lines is the center of dilation.
From the below graph, it is clear that the lines AA', BB' and CC' intersect each other at (0,0).
Therefore, the center of dilation is (0,0).
If a figure is dilated by factor k and the center of dilation is origin, then
It is given that A'(-4,4). So,
On comparing both sides, we get
Therefore, the scale factor is 2.
